Shchedrin, one of four men chained to wheelbarrows at Kara, between 1880 and 1886. A police photo of Shchedrin, half-length portrait, facing slightly right, dressed in convict clothing. Shchedrin, a school teacher, was one of the political prisoners at the Kara gold mines who, in April, 1882, escaped from prison by digging a tunnel under the prison wall. All were subsequently recaptured and eight prisoners, Shchedrin among them, were permanently chained to wheelbarrows. In July, 1882, all eight were sent to St. Petersburg and imprisoned in the isolation cells at the castle of Schlusselburg.
