Biographers point at his contacts with Pyotr Rachkovsky, the famous chief of the Okhrana, the secret service of the Russian Empire, an antisemite by devotion. In November 1902 Rachkovsky returned from Paris to Petersburg.When the Russian Revolution of 1905 began, Sergei Trishatny was a barrister. In October 1905, together with his younger brother, Alexander Trishatny, he took part in the organization of the Union of the Russian People under the leadership of Alexander Dubrovin. When on the founding of the Union of the Russian People was formally announced, Sergei Trishatny was appointed a Secretary, while his brother Alexander Trishatny became the deputy chairman of the Main Board of this union, headed by Dr. Dubrovin.
Sergei Trishatny was named as the organizer of terroristic combat squads which shot and murdered political opponents of the URP, from deputies of the Duma to left-wing functionaries. In 1907–1908, following growing internal conflicts and power struggles in the URP, Trishatny withdrew from his active participation in the Union. From 1908 he worked as legal adviser to the Central Post Office in St. Petersburg.
After the October Revolution of 1917, Trishatny did not emigrate and went to work for the Soviets. In December 1918 he got a job as an auditor of the Food Committee of the Nikolaevskaya railway. A year later, on 20 December 1919, he was detained by the Cheka of Petrograd, which was investigating the URP at that time, as he had once been a member of it. In three weeks, on 12 January 1920 the investigator found no corpus delicti in Trishatny's testimony and released him from detention.
Five days later, on 17 January 1920, the Cheka of Petrograd decided to detain Trishatny "as an ex-member of the URP" upon lifting of martial law in the city. Trishatny worked at a camp in Petrograd until 1 April 1920, when he escaped. On 21 April 1920 the Cheka officially put Trishatny on its wanted list. His ultimate fate is unknown.
