Bomber
In Yaroslavl Kalyayev befriended the Socialist-Revolutionaries and writers Boris Savinkov and Aleksey Remizov, and decided to completely devote his life to revolutionary actions. At that time Kalyayev became convinced that political terror was the only way to realize his political ideas. He met Evno Azef, the commander of the SR Combat Organization and volunteered to perform political assassinations.
Kalyayev served as backup in the assassination of Interior Minister Vyacheslav Pleve.

The next to be killed was the General-Governor of Moscow and uncle of Tsar Nicholas II Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich.
