    Ulyanov was born in  Nizhny Novgorod, the second child and
    eldest son of schoolteachers  Ilya Nikolayevich
    Ulyanov  and  Maria Alexandrovna Ulyanova. He was often Born 12 April [O.S. 31
    referred to as Sasha, a  common diminutive form of the name March] 1866

    Aleksandr.[2]He graduated with honors from the College Nizhny


    of Simbirsk in 1883 and later attended  Saint Petersburg State Novgorod, Nizhny
    University, where he majored in Natural Sciences and earned a Novgorod
    degree in zoology. While at university, he participated in illegal Governorate, Russian
    meetings and demonstrations, often handing out pamphlets Empire
    and making speeches to students and workers.

    Revolutionary

    Shlisselburg, Russian
    Empire
    In 1886 he became a member of the "terrorist faction", which
    was part of the Narodnaya Volya (People's Will) party. He was Occupation Revolutionary
    one of the authors of the party's program. Acknowledging the socialist, political
    working class as the "nucleus of the  Socialist  Party", the activist, student
    program affirmed the revolutionary's initiative of fighting
    autocracy through terrorism.

    Attempted assassination of Alexander III

    Ulyanov and his comrades conspired to  assassinate  Alexander III of Russia. On 1 March 1887
    (Julian calendar), the day of the sixth anniversary of Alexander II's murder, three party members
    were arrested in the Nevsky Prospekt. Police suspected that when Alexander III visited church on
    the anniversary of his father's assassination, the plotters would throw bombs into the Emperor's
    carriage. The attempt is known as "The Second First of March".

    Ulyanov, who served as both the main ideologist of the group as well as the bomb-maker, was later
    arrested. In court Ulyanov gave a political speech. The conspirators were initially sentenced to
    death; all but five were then pardoned by Alexander III. Ulyanov was not among those pardoned.

    On 8 May, he and his four comrades  –  Pakhomy


    Andreyushkin,  Vasily Generalov,  Vasili Osipanov, and  Petr
    Shevyrev – were hanged at Shlisselburg.[3]

    Aleksandr's execution drove his younger brother Vladimir


    Ilyich Ulyanov (Vladimir Lenin) to pursue the Russian
    revolutionary struggle ever more fervently. Vladimir was
    already active in politics prior to his older brother's arrest.
    Vladimir admired his older brother; however, he was quite
    dismissive of his older brother's political attitude. He once said,
    "No, my brother won't make a revolutionary, I thought at the
    time. A revolutionary can't give so much time to the study of
    worms." Lenin also remembered how his family were shunned
    by liberal circles in Simbirsk following his brother's arrest.[4]

    named after him.[5][6]
