Ulyanov and his comrades began preparing an assassination attempt on the life of Alexander III of Russia, but on March 1, 1887, they were arrested. In court, Ulyanov gave a political speech. On May 8, he and his comrades Pakhomiy Andreyushkin, Vasili Generalov, Vasili Osipanov and Petr Shevyrev were sentenced to death and hanged. As they had been arrested on March 1, they became known as the Pervomartovtsi.
