  6. And so it begins… • Decembrist Revolution 1825 • Beginning of the Russian Rev??? • Alexander I had died unexpectedly • Nicholas I became Tsar • UNPOPULAR • Boyars (Noblemen) & officers staged coup. • UNSUCCESSFUL! • Afterwards 289 Decembrists were tried; five were executed, 31 imprisoned, and the rest banished to Siberia.

  7. Marxism • Conservatism • Wait till society is ready to change • Liberalism • Pass laws to change society • Radicalism • Destroy old, and add new • Anarchism • Transformation! • Less concerned with means. Marx

  8. Communist Manifesto • When, in the course of development, class distinctions have disappeared, and all production has been concentrated in the hands of a vast association of the whole nation, the public power will lose its political character. Political power, properly so called, is merely the organised power of one class for oppressing another. If the proletariat during its contest with the bourgeoisie is compelled, by the force of circumstances, to organise itself as a class, if, by means of a revolution, it makes itself the ruling class, and, as such, sweeps away by force the old conditions of production, then it will, along with these conditions, have swept away the conditions for the existence of class antagonisms and of classes generally, and will thereby have abolished its own supremacy as a class. • In place of the old bourgeois society, with its classes and class antagonisms, we shall have an association, in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all. • Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels

  9. Marx, Lenin and Bolsheviks, Oh my! • 1898: the Marxist group, Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP), formed • First Russian Marxist groups • Delegates arrested by Tsar! (Later freed) • 1903: Disagreement between Vladimir Lenin and Julius Martov, so the RSDLP broke and formed two separate groups • Bolsheviks (Hard): Lenin Party should be CLOSED to public: MINORITY • Mensheviks (Soft): Martov Party should be OPENED to public: MAJORITY Lenin addressing the Bolsheviks

  10. Russian Revolution of 1905 Bloody Sunday Jan 22nd, 1905 • Led by the Father Gapon as a last minute plea to the Tsar for help (Tsar doesn't know we are suffering!) • Workers marched on Winter Palace in St. Petersburg to ask Tsar to help… • Representative government • End to war with Japan • Tsar Nicholas’ troops fired on peaceful protesters, killing hundreds. (Myth shattered) • Jan-Oct 1905 • Unrest and Strikes!!!! • Sergei Witte laid foundation for DUMA • 10/17/1905- 10/30/1905: October Manifesto • Tsar Nicholas created DUMA… Allowed freedom of speech and ELECTED assembly • Was it successful?
