Ivan Emelyanov, a boy of twenty, who after graduating from a trade school, had studied abroad on a grant from Baron Ginzburg, and became a cabinetmaker.

He was one of the four bomb-throwers who assassinated Tsar Alexander II of Russia on 1 March, 1881. The first bomb, thrown by Nikolai Rysakov, only damaged the carriage and wounded one of the guards. A second bomb thrown by Ignacy Hryniewiecki succeeded in mortally wounding the tsar. Emelyanov carried a third bomb; but seeing that Hryniewiecki's attack was successful, he fled the scene.

In March alone nearly fifty men and women were put behind bars because they were suspected of having some roles in the assassination. Accompanied by a detective, this Loris Melikov walked the streets of the capital and pointed out men and women to be seized. One of his first victims was Emelyanov, the only member of the bombing squad to have survived.
