Ah, but who remembers the explosive life and death of Tzar Alexander II?
"...on the evening of February 5, 1880 the same revolutionaries set off a charge under the dining room of the Winter Palace, right in the resting room of the guards a story below. Being late for supper, the Tsar was not harmed, although 67 other people were killed or wounded."
Of course, on March 13th of the next year the revolutionaries made a successful attempt with not one, but three bombs ... only two of which were needed.
