Originating from Ukraine, Fanny Kaplan was one of the most representative figures in the revolutionary movement. She spent almost her entire youth wandering around with social-revolutionary groups and anarchists. In 1906, she was arrested for the first time under the accusation of terrorism and then spent an entire decade in Siberian labor camps.
