Famous ucranians in Argentina
Simón Radowisky was born in Dec 1891 in Dinipro, Ukraine. He emigrated to Argentina in 1908. In 1909 he lobbed a grenade into a carriage that was transporting army Colonel Falcon and his assistant, both accused of executing left wing activists. Both died.
Radowisky was arrested and the prosecutor requested the death penalty. The public defender argued that Radowisky was technically underage at the time of the murder, but could not provide proofs of this. The judge then requested the French ambassador to contact the Russian government and try to secure the original birth certificate from Dinipro (Argentina did not have an embassy in Moscow at the time, so a mediator was needed)
The birth certificate was secured by the French and proved that he was indeed underage. the terrorist was sentenced to life imprisonment instead. He was pardoned in 1930 and expelled from the country.
