I wonder the same. The Romanov Faberge Eggs video got more tha 600,000 visits. And to top it off Bloody Nicholas was made a saint by the Russian church.

My great, grant grandparents sent my great-grandpa by himself at 7 years old to America to escape after the first Russian revolution in 1905.

It's nice to see you revisiting the old topics, especially since this means that my city (Lodz, or more properly Łódź, which is pronounced in a way that an English-speaker would probably spell like "Woodge") gets mentioned again, at 6:23.

Thanks for the video, my topic suggestion would be the Lena Goldmine/River Massacre as it ties in nicely with the topic of this video. And can we talk about the Putilov factory for a second? They don‘t seem to ever be satisified with what they have. First they go up againsat the Czar and then they boo Lenin at a speech he gave to calm their tempers. They really stood up for what they believed in. Maybe you could do a video about this factory too, but it probably would be a video too „niche“ to make sense for you to research.

Nikolai Berdyaev once wrote: "True life is creativity, not development: it is the freedom for creative acts, for creative fire, rather than necessity and the heaviness of congealing self-perfection"

It is very strange how soldiers shot a peaceful crowd without the latter doing any provocation. The whole XX century is strange.

Never read about this revolution, interesting.

The skeletal structure is correct, but not entirely the spirit. Some significant pieces left out, such as Tzar St Nicholas journal entry that he had been falsely led to believe that the majority of Russians wanted a constitutional monarchy, and that had he been better informed as to the will of the majority, things would have ended differently.

Bloody Sunday refers also to an event in Ireland, no ?

No, that was bloody Monday.

Both Nicholai II and his father Aleksandr III personally witnessed the bloody murder of their father and grandfather Aleksandr II in spite of his generous reforms and liberation of serfs. Son and grandson became convinced that Aleksandr II's reforms were misguided, and that the only way to maintain the survival of the Russian Monarchy and prevent the disintegration of the Empire was to restore and enforce autocracy and reverse the liberal reforms of Aleksandr II. This line of thinking guided the actions of both Aleksandr III and his son. However, where Aleksandr III was wise enough to avoid war with any other nation, his son was more adventurous with disastrous consequences for the Empire and the Monarchy. with so much internal pressure on the monarchy, the Czars needed to avoid war with other countries altogether, lest the war weaken the monarchy beyond recovery. Aleksandr III understood this threat, but not his son- who was guided disastrously by his hawkish wife.

First of all this video is talking about the first Russian revolution of 1905 where the tsar did not seek any sanctuary(you would’ve known this if you watched it) secondly in the second Russian revolution of 1915 tsar Nicholas did seek asylum from George V who was the grandson of queen victoria and had control of the throne because as the previous comment mentioned she had died by this point.

Nicholas II and Wilhelm II both did a really bad job in ruling.

Been a fan of you since your first videos on Frederick's campaigns. And I don't mean to offend any sensitivities you may have, i understand there is a lot of pressure on certain European countries and historians with regards to what I will mention, but have you ever read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's account of the Revolution of 1905? It seems to me that a certain aspect of the event in the Western world has been censored. I was just wondering if you have come across the Solzhenitsyn piece in question? You dont have to say whether you think it's a good description of events or not, I would understand.

Very interesting ,Thanks so much . Sometimes I wonder if certain things in S.A. are deliberately planned in a political sense and have been for years or if it's just an accidental or mismanagement or crime .I think it might be a mix of all three.This example of the Russian Revolution gives me alot of insight .Im glad not so Many people died recently as it could of been worse .Im a bit worried sometimes that if such things like the mass looting could happen a type of civil war could or mass killing if things don't change.Im glad our current president has respect for human life and the army showed restraint .sad times .If our constitution is amended ,it looks like S.A could be heading in the same direction as Zim

Although interesting, the Kronstad rebellion perhaps relevant.

What the main reason cause bloody Sunday and why painting

The map of the 1905 Austria-Hungary shown in this clip is incorrect. It doesn't contain Croatia, Slavonia, Dalmatia - basically most of their coastline. Bosnia-Herzegovina at that time was their protectorate but not yet annexed (this would happen in 1908). Would be nice to correct if possible. Otherwise, good topic and story.

The petition was a demand for a political changes.

The protestors were not all unarmed.

We will enjoy absolute peace, for all the tragical events will be forgotten, according to Isaiah 65:17: "For look!

That the SR isnt mentioned in connection with Bloody Sunday and Gapon presented as just an Orthodox Priest and not mentioning his connections with SRs is just creating a wrong image. Also ignoring that few days before Bloody Sunday Nicholas had been the victim of an Assassination Attempt(the bullet had flown above his head). Additionally not mentioning that Gapon was an Okhrana informant and still ignored their orders and worked with the leader of the SR terrorist wing to plan the procession. Additionally Gapon and the SR knew Nicholas wouldn't be present. He had been told that. Also the Police had information that the SRs had the goal of the inciting violence. As such presenting the police as just "showing Autocratic power" and not responding to a known threat, is slander. This Video is severely lacking in detail and outright wrong in many places, especially surrounding Bloody Sunday.
