2005 marks the centenary of Russia s first revolution - an
unplanned, spontaneous rejection of Tsarist rule that was a
response to the Bloody Sunday massacre of 9th January 1905. A wave
of strikes, urban uprisings, peasant revolts, national revolutions
and mutinies swept across the Russian Empire, and it proved a
crucial turning point in the demise of the autocracy and the rise
of a revolutionary socialism that would shape Russia, Europe and
the international system for the rest of the twentieth century.
The centenary of the Revolution has prompted scholars to review
and reassess our understanding of what happened in 1905. Recent
opportunities to access archives throughout the former Soviet Union
are yielding new provincial perspectives, as well as fresh insights
into the roles of national and religious minorities, and the parts
played by individuals, social groups, political parties and
institutions. This text brings together some of the best of this
new research and reassessment, and includes thirteen chapters
written by leading historians from around the world, together with
an introduction from Abraham Ascher.
