Editing SR Combat Organization (section)

==History==
In 1902, [[Grigory Gershuni]] founded and led the group. In July 1904 they murdered the Russian Minister of the Interior, [[Vyacheslav von Plehve]].

In 1904, Gershuni was arrested, and [[Yevno Azef]] succeeded him, with Boris Savinkov as his deputy.  Azef, a double-agent in the employ of the Tsarist secret police [[Okhrana]], changed the Terrorist Brigade's mode of attack from firearms to dynamite.
In its middle period (1903–1906) the brigade's members included more than a dozen women and more than four dozen men—some nobles, honorary citizens, priests, and merchants.  Most were 20–30 years old; 19 were [[History of the Jews in Russia|Jews]], and two Poles.<ref>
