Kuniarski, who participated in the Polish insurrection of 1830, retired to France after the fall of Warsaw but secretly returned to Poland without permission. He was seized, tried as a revolutionary emissary, and shot at Wilna with 4,000 men under arms present. He died fortitudinously, smiling and joking at his grave, refusing to compromise countrymen, and his request to not be blindfolded was rejected.
