Mikhail Frolenko

Mikhail Fedorovich Frolenko (Russian: Михаил Фёдорович Фроленко; November 1848 – February 18, 1938) was a Ukrainian revolutionary, populist, and a member of the Executive Committee of the People's Will, who was implicated in the assassination of the Tsar Alexander II.

On the night of the planned escape, he brought them a change of clothes, unlocked their cells, and the four of them walked out, where a fellow revolutionary, Valerian Osinsky was waiting with a coach and horses.

[6] After Osinsky had been arrested and hanged, Frolenko planned to kill General Eduard Totleben, Governor of Odesa, in revenge, but was unable to organise the attempt, and decided that assassinating officials was a side issue, and the more important target was the Tsar, and he moved to St Petersburg to join "Narodnaya Volya", and was co-opted onto its executive committee, and became the husband, or lover, of a fellow revolutionary, Tatyana Lebedeva.

In November 1879, Frolenko and Lebedeva moved into a cabin close to the railway line outside Odesa where they stored a large quantity with the intention of blowing up the Tsar's train, but the plan was called off.

[7] In February, the revolutionaries opened a cheese shop on Malaya Sadovaya street, St Petersburg, on a route frequently used by the Tsar on Sundays.

After 11 years, there was an increase in pension according to the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the Soviet Union: "The Council of People's Commissars of the Soviet Union decides: Increase the personal pension to the participants of the terrorist attack on March 1, 1881: Vera Nikolaevna Figner, Anna Vasilyevna Yakimova–Dikovskaya, Mikhail Fedorovich Frolenko, Anna Pavlovna Pribyleva–Korba and Fani Abramovna Moreynis–Muratova – up to 400 rubles a month from January 1, 1933.
