One day Alexis Orloff and Teplof appeared at Mopsa to announce to the deposed sovereign his approaching deliverance and to ask a dinner of him. Glasses and brandy were ordered, and while Teplof was amusing the Tsar, Orloff filled the glasses, adding poison to one of them. "The Tsar, suspecting no harm, took the poison and swallowed it. He was soon seized with agonising pains.
Baratinski and Teplof then passed a table-napkin with a sliding knot round his neck, and the murderers accomplished the work of death by strangling him." Such is the story as it has come down to us, and as it was believed in Russia at the time.
