St. Petersburg’s Bloody Sunday<\/strong><\/p>\nBack in the day on January 22nd, 1905, hundreds of workers were killed in a Winter Palace massacre in St. Petersburg, Russia. Known to history as \u201cBloody Sunday\u201d an unarmed mass procession of more than 150,000 people had come to present the regime of Tsar Nicholas II with a petition of demands. Led by Father George Gapon of the Assembly of Russian Workers, the workers appealed for an eight-hour workday, improved working conditions and increased pay. Politically, the petition also demanded universal suffrage reforms and an end to the unpopular Russo-Japanese War. As the masses approached the Winter Palace, Tsarist security forces opened fire on the crowd sending it into a panic. Father Gapon himself escaped death and went into exile where he joined the Social-Revolutionary Party. He was ordered executed by the S.R.\u2019s upon returning to Russia after it was revealed that he had contacts with the Tsarist secret police. <\/p>\n
The dramatic events of the Bloody Sunday massacre, considered the start of the Russian Revolution of 1905, functioned as a \u2018dress rehearsal\u2019 for further political upheavals in Russia that culminate once more in revolution. <\/p>\n
