This is a concise history of the Revolution of 1905, a critical
juncture in the history of Russia when several possible paths were
opened up for the country. By the end of that year, virtually every
social group had become active in the opposition to the autocracy,
which was on the verge of collapse. Only the promise of reform, in
particular the formation of a parliament (Duma) that would
participate in governing the country, enabled to old order to
survive. For some eighteen months the opposition and the Tsarist
regime continued to struggle for supremacy, and only in June 1907
did the government reassert its authority. It drastically changed
the relatively liberal electoral law, depriving many citizens of
the vote. Although the revolution was now over, some institutional
changes remained intact. Most notably, Russia retained an elected
legislature and political parties speaking for various social and
economic interests. As a result, the autocratic system of rule was
undermined, and the fate of the political and social order remained
uncertain.
