Breshkovsky returned to Russia in time for the outbreak of the [[1905 Russian Revolution|1905 Revolution]].

Hearing of her arrest, Isabel Barrows sailed to Russia to plead for her release, and succeeded in persuading Nikolay Breshko-Breshkovsky to visit his mother in prison, despite his hostility to her beliefs.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Stone Blackwell |title=Little Grandmother |pages=134–5}}</ref> In 1910, she was sentenced to exile for life in Siberia, and deported to a village by the [[Lena River]] where she was kept under constant supervision.

In November 1913 now almost 70 years old, she attempted an escape that involved a journey by horseback of more than 620 miles to [[Irkutsk]], but was recaptured only seven miles outside the city. She was held in solitary confinement in Irkutsk prison for two years, then deported to [[Yakutsk]], close to the Arctic Circle, but after protests from her American sympathisers, was returned to Irkutsk.
