Alexander von Lüders
From November 1861 to June 1862 he held the position of Namestnik of the Kingdom of Poland; he is remembered as a brutal overseer, persecuting Poles and the Catholic Church. His activities contributed to the rising tensions that culminated in the January Uprising (1863), however Lüders had already been wounded in 1862 during an assassination attempt by Ukrainian officer Andrij Potebnia (who acted to take revenge for his comrades, Ukrainian revolutionaries, captured and tortured by Alexander) and returned to St. Petersburg before the uprising, to become one of the members of State Council of Imperial Russia. After promotion to the State Council the family of Lüders got the count title. Since Lüders did not have sons the title Count Lüders was given to the husband of Lüders' daughter, Alexander Weimarn and their offspring
