  In the winter of 1878, Vera Zasulich shot the governor of St Petersburg for his brutal treatment of a political prisoner. Her trial became Russia's first 'trial of the century' as the courtrooms filled with the cream of society. This work captures Vera's life story - from privileged nobility to revolutionary conspirator to assassin and then saint.
