[1] After two weeks and another occupant attack to liberate a prison, the government ordered a raid on the Durnovo villa, which killed one anarchist.

[2] Zhelezniakov, who followed Kropotkin and Bakunin,[1] organized Kronstadt sailors to demonstrate at the American embassy to protest results of the San Francisco Preparedness Day Bombing trial: both Tom Mooney's death sentence and the potential extradition of Alexander Berkman.

Zhelezniakov cooperated with the Bolshevik overthrow of the Russian Provisional Government and subsequently commanded the Tauride Palace guard.

Zhelezniakov opposed Trotsky's Red Army reorganization, which abolished self-organization and put tsarist officers in charge, as a regressive.

Multiple songs and poems have been penned in his honor, though his remembrance is limited to his role as a revolutionary and martyr, without mention of his anarchist affiliation.
