| | THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTIONS |
| | In such an atmosphere, on January 22, 1905, a priest, Father Gapon, who was one of the organizers of the pro-government trade unions, decided to lead a group of workers to present a petition to the Czar at the Winter Palace. | | | Political demands were the calling of an elected duma, freedom of speech and assembly, guarantee of fair trials and an amnesty for political prisoners. | | | They believed that the bourgeois revolution should precede the socialist revolution and that they should wait for the liberals to establish a bourgeois government in 1905. |

| | International Socialism: 1905: The consciousness factor |
| | After Bloody Sunday, Lenin repeatedly argued that the main lesson that the radicalised workers were drawing from the massacre was the need for an armed uprising. | | | In January 1905, the workers thought that they could talk to the tsar in a nice, polite way and they were cruelly disillusioned. | | | The third was the development of the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks, originally factions in the same social democratic party, into distinct parties which corresponded politically to these two maain contradictory tendencies inside the mass movement. |

| | Like many journalists he declined to name either the head of the Provisional IRA in the Bogside on Bloody Sunday, or the young woman who was present when the PIRA decided to do nothing as the shooting broke out, in both cases on the grounds of preserving the confidence of sources. | | | The Fingerpost article came to the attention of the reopened Bloody Sunday Inquiry, and in December 1998 Humphry and I were invited to London to make witness statements, the substance of which is in my memo. | | | The action of Bloody Sunday took place in the Bogside, overlooked by the walls, and it was in the then nearby City Hotel that the press, including myself and Derek, stayed, drank and worked untangling Bloody Sunday. |

Many of the speakers compared the plight of conservative Christians to the civil rights movement. |

| | We cannot flatly dismiss the idea that Father Gapon may be a sincere Christian socialist and that it was Bloody Sunday which converted him to the truly revolutionary path. | | | In fact, three days after “Bloody Sunday,” Lenin had already put forward the need for popular democratic committees to lead the struggle: “Revolutionary committees will be set up at every factory, in every district, in every large village. | | | We are inclined to support this idea, especially since Gapon& letters written after the massacre of 9 January declaring that “we have no Tsar,&; his call to fight for freedom, etc., are facts that speak for his honesty and sincerity. |

| | Later in 1887 the political situation was sharpened by two dramatic events - the police riot known as "Bloody Sunday" in London, and the judicial murder of the Chicago anarchists, both in November. | | | Presumably Lane was reacting against the accusations of the parliamentarists that he was advocating mere anarchism, and possibly he was also reacting against the middle-class intellectuals who were advocating their anarchism. | | | He circularised the branches of the Socialist League, though Morris persuaded him not to give up his job and tour the country to raise support. |

Greengrass uses brief views into the different facets of the players of that day, separated by blackness, to build the tensions as the two forces come together for the inevitable confrontation. |
