In November 1914, the activities of the Russian Cloth Party became more and more frequent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThey actively worked among the factory workers and peasants in St. Petersburg and the surrounding areas. The activities of the party attracted the attention of the Russian government. It's just that the Tsar's attention was on the army and he didn't pay attention to it. In other words, he has long been numb to these riots and uprisings, and he is not surprised.

On November 3, mass strikes and demonstrations broke out across Russia to commemorate Bloody Sunday in 1905. The workers of St. Petersburg, the capital, responded to the call of the Cloth Party to go on strike and demonstrate, chanting "Down with the war!" "Bread and Peace! slogan.

This was followed by strikes and demonstrations of about 130,000 men and women in 50 factories in St. Petersburg, which kicked off the February Revolution. The next day, the number of people participating in the strike increased to 200,000.

Under the leadership of the party, almost the entire workers of St. Petersburg joined the strike. This further expanded the scale of the strike. And this, too, attracted the attention of the tsar.

"Your Majesty, the situation in St. Petersburg is already very bad. A large number of workers, instigated by the rebel parties, went on strike. The order of the entire capital is already in chaos. If we don't find a way to stop them, there is a good chance that the riot will spread throughout the country. This will be very bad for us! "Secretary of State for the Interior? Pander to? Stolypin looked flustered.

"Bastard! Those damn rebels. They shouldn't have been spared in the first place. At a time when the country is in crisis, not only do they not want to serve the country, but they also repeatedly make trouble for us. This time, I definitely won't let them go again. Tell the St. Petersburg police chief to arrest all those rebels, and if they dare to resist, hang them all! In addition, those untouchables were all dispersed. Their task is to work desperately to produce more war materials for our army, instead of listening to the demagoguery of those chaotic parties and opposing the government and the country. If the situation is out of control, I authorize you to use the army to suppress it! Nicholas II said viciously.

The army's fiasco at the front line had already made him hold a fire in his stomach and had no place to vent. Now, there are people who are plotting to rebel against the country, which makes him even more unbearable. Enraged, Nicholas II was already murderous in his heart, and after capturing the Cloth Party, he had planned to hang them all in order to deter other opponents of his rule.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Stolypin nodded. Although, believing that the order of Nicholas II, could further intensify relations with the population. However, at such a critical juncture, there is simply no other way than to resort to strong means.

On November 5, the St. Petersburg Police Department launched a large number of police forces to raid the headquarters of the striking workers, arresting hundreds of members of the Brucello Cloth Party and key strike elements.

That night, an enraged Nicholas II ordered a group of people to be executed. Dozens of people were hanged without any trial. Their bodies were hung on Nevsky Prospect.

Nicholas II's original intention was to take this opportunity to warn the striking workers and make an example for them to retreat. This approach has been tried and tested over the past few years. The striking workers, when they saw that Tsar Nicholas II had begun to kill, were frightened and hid back, not daring to continue the strike. Nicholas II believed that this time it would be the same as usual.

It's a pity that this time Nicholas II miscalculated. The death of the party members and strike activists did not frighten them, but further fueled their anger.

Ulyanov and other leaders of the Burenos Pavo Party even stood up at the right time and called on the workers and the masses to take up arms and overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Tsar. This further intensified the contradictions between the workers and the Tsarist government.

On 7 November, tens of thousands of workers gathered on Nevsky Prospect and shouted the names of the arrested party members and strike activists and demanded their unconditional release from the government.

However, the tsarist government was not moved at all. The troops of the St. Petersburg Military District even pulled up a blockade on Nevsky Prospect and set up machine guns to prevent the striking workers from taking further radical actions.

"Let go! Let go! The workers shouted slogans with angry faces.

"Smack!" Suddenly, a crisp gunshot rang out, and the chest of a workers' leader was immediately stained red with blood.

"Ahh Killed. The army has killed people! Someone in the crowd immediately shouted.

The angry workers immediately rushed towards the military police.

"Stand back! Stand back for me! Otherwise, shoot! A Russian officer yelled loudly. Sweat was already on his forehead.

"Smack!" Another gunshot rang out. In the officer's forehead, a bullet hole the size of a thumb appeared. Blood mixed with something white flowed out. His body fell to the ground at once.

The Russian officer was shot as if a scoop of water had been poured into a pan. Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded.

"Fire! Kill those mobs. ”

"Da Da Da!" The army's machine guns began to strafe, and a dense burst of bullets shot into the crowd, and countless workers fell to the ground under the shooting of the Russian army. The entire Nevsky Prospect was full of blood.

Under the strafing fire of the Russian army, the workers who participated in the march and strike suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat.

But if the Tsarist government thought that the workers' revolt would be suppressed in this way, it would be very wrong.

Ulyanov, Joseph and others were thrilled when they heard that the army had opened fire on the marching workers.

"Very good, very good. At this time, the Tsarist government was even more unpopular. At night, let's get our people moving! This time, we must overthrow the tyrannical rule of Tsar Nicholas II in one fell swoop! Ulyanov's eyes shone with ambition. They seem to have seen that victory is imminent. This huge country will change its owner, and it will be up to him to decide later.

"Yes, Leader." Joseph had a smile on his face as well. As Ulyanov's main assistant, if this uprising succeeds, his status will also rise.

In the afternoon of the same day, the workers of St. Petersburg launched an armed uprising. They stormed police stations, seized arsenals, and issued weapons to the workers of the uprising. The assembled rebel army attacked directly at the government institutions and seized these strategic points. By the end of the night, the situation in St. Petersburg was already very bad.
