The Holy Brotherhood was a short-lived, semi-official, secret society formed in the aftermath of the Assassination of Alexander II of Russia tasked with protecting the Tsar. The idea for society came from future Prime Minister Sergei Witte and led by General Illarion Vorontsov-Dashkov. The group engaged in counterterrorism which included guarding the Tsar, investigating revolutionary groups and plotting assassinations of political dissidents. The group was dissolved at the end of 1882 under pressure from the Police who said the group hampered their work.
