Eugen Schauman

Eugen Schauman (May 10, 1875 - June 16, 1904) was a Finnish nationalist who assassinated the Governor-General Nikolai Ivanovich Bobrikov.

Schauman worked as a clerk in the Senate. When Bobrikov came to the Senate house on June 16 Schauman shot him three times and then himself twice. Schauman died instantly. Bobrikov died the same night in a hospital.

Schauman left a letter in which he stated that he had killed Bobrikov for the crimes he had committed. He also claimed he had acted alone.
