The Romanovs and the 1905 Revolution

View show details

In 1905, a peaceful march on the Winter Palace turned into a massacre that shattered the myth of the tsar as a benevolent father. This episode explores the events of Bloody Sunday, the rise of the first soviets, the October Manifesto, and the creation of the State Duma. We look at the key figures: Father Gapon, the priest who led the march; Sergei Witte, the reformer who tried to save the autocracy; Pyotr Stolypin, whose counter-reforms ended the revolution but planted the seeds of 1917. We also discuss the limits of the new parliamentary system and how Nicholas II's refusal to share power set Russia on a course toward revolution. #RussianHistory #Romanovs #1905Revolution #BloodySunday #WinterPalace #FatherGapon #NicholasII #OctoberManifesto #StateDuma #SergeiWitte #PyotrStolypin #Soviets #Autocracy #ImperialRussia #StPetersburg #Revolution #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
