The fate of Mikhail Ashenbrenner is unique. An officer, lieutenant colonel, he became a member of the military wing of the Narodnaya Volya terrorist organization, the apotheosis of which was the assassination of Tsar Alexander II, was arrested and sentenced to hanging, which was replaced by twenty years in the Shlisselburg fortress. Caressed in his old age by the Bolsheviks, he lived out in the "House of Veterans of the Revolution named after Ilyich".
His memoirs are a story about how a young man who grew up in liberal traditions, having seen enough of army mores, breaks his oath and eventually enters the service of terror. Published in 1924 and not published since then, they are interesting primarily because they show the "Narodnaya Volya" from the inside and describe the prison life of the Narodnaya Volya. The author proudly narrates about his life and complains about the "unbearable embarrassment" that people involved in many murders experienced in the royal dungeon. And then he frankly reports that they baked "big cakes" in the cells, made moonshine and "made liqueurs, adding berry juice."
