A short comment on the twisting of historical facts

I just wanted to answer the last comment made about this episode. The show is known for taking liberties with historical facts, changing the time of certain events to fit the plot. Yet, historical accuracies are usually not as strong as mentioned in said comment. The assassination referred to is most likely that of Alexander II. in 1881. If you are interested you can find information about the event and the historical context here (for a start): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_II_of_Russia The overall historic context of the episode is thus correct concerning this particular aspect.
