Fyodor Trepov

Feodor Feodorovich Trepov ("Федор Федорович Трепов" in Russian) (1812 - 1889) was a Russian government official.

Feodor Trepov began his military career in 1831 by participating in the suppression of the November Uprising in Poland in 1830-1831. He then commanded a cavalry regiment of gendarmes in Kiev. He distinguished himself during the suppression of another uprising in Poland in 1863-1864He became somewhat infamous in Warsaw for his brutality and impunity. A popular folk tune recalls a situation in which Trepov, then in the rank of Colonel, assaulted a passer-by on the streets of Warsaw's old town. The civilian fought back, hitting Trepov's face with his cane.

After Dmitry Karakozov's assassination attempt on Alexander II in 1866, Trepov was appointed chief of Saint Petersburg's police force. He managed to put the city in order and improved the performance of the police. In 1867, Trepov was promoted to the rank of adjutant general. He was the Governor of St.Petersburg between 1873 and 1878.

In 1878, Vera Zasulich shot and wounded Trepov after he had ordered the flogging of a political prisoner. Feodor Trepov survived the much publicized assassination attempt and soon retired with the rank of cavalry general.
