Nechayev fled Russia in 1869 after having been involved in the murder of a student who doubted the existence of his underground organization. Complicated relationships with fellow revolutionaries caused him to be expelled from the International Workingmen's Association. Arrested in Switzerland in 1872, he was extradited back to Russia where he received a twenty-year sentence and died in prison.
