>Kaliayev, condemned to the gallows after having played prosecutor to the tribunal, declares firmly: "I consider my death as a supreme protest against a world of blood and tears.">He also writes: "From the moment when I found myself behind bars, I never for one moment wanted to stay alive in any way whatsoever." His wish is granted. On May 10th, at two o'clock in the morning, he walks toward the only justification he recognizes. Entirely dressed in black, without an overcoat, and wearing a felt hat, he climbs the scaffold. To Father Florinski, who offers him the crucifix, the condemned man, turning his face from the figure of Christ, only answers: "I already told you that I have finished with life and that I am prepared for death."
