among them the request for the release of the detainees from May 1, although not all.

No person responsible or executor of the massacre ever had to answer judicially for their actions.1 This fact was used by the anarchists to justify the assassination of the police chief Ramón Falcón.





Aftermath Attack on Falcon



On November 15 of that year, an anarchist militant, Simon Radowitzky, who was a minor when he committed the attack, assassinated the commissar by successfully attacking him with a bomb at the intersection of Callao and Quintana avenues.3

He ended up being imprisoned and tortured in police facilities. During the trial, the prosecutor had requested the death penalty, but he was finally sent to the Ushuaia prison.5

The assassination of Falcón produced a new wave of repression3 that was taintedby episodes of anti-Semitic and xenophobic violence, produced after the condemnatory decision; in addition to the looting and burning of various newspapers, libraries, and socialist and anarchist institutions, as well as institutions such as the Russian Library or the Poale Sion.

The workers’ demonstrations of the time, for their part, went out to shout slogans in favor of Radowitzky, like È morto Ramón Falcón massacratore; evviva Simón Radowitzky vindicatore.3 The anti-Radowitsky demonstrations, in the centennial of independence, chanted the slogan “¡fuera los Russos!” 5

Simon Radowitsky was under aged to be executed but served at least 25 years prison. He emerged unrepentant and fought in an anarchist brigade during the Spanish Revolution.
