Note 139 — Chapter 14 Vyatka—The Office and Dining-room of His Excellency—K. Y. Tyufyaev

Simon Konarski, a Polish revolutionary, also active in the ‘Young Europe’ (afterwards ‘Young Italy’) movement, lived in disguise and with a false passport in Poland, founding a printing press and carrying on active propaganda till he was caught and shot at Vilna in 1839. His admirers cut the post to which he was tied into bits which they preserved as relics of a saint.—(Translator’s Note.)
