[Heng Yi asks for support! 】

Russia was once a huge empire with a territory of more than 20 million square kilometers and a population of up to 120 million, and the national strength of the Russian Empire reached an unprecedented peak before the establishment of the Chinese Empire. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, after the establishment of the Chinese Empire, everything changed, first the Chinese Empire defeated the British, French, Russian, and Japanese Quadruple Alliance, which caused Russia heavy losses, and then the Chinese Empire launched a campaign against Russia, occupying Russia's Central Siberia and Eastern Siberia in one year, and engaged in a long confrontation with the Russian army in Western Siberia, and more than 10 million square kilometers of land in the Russian Asian region were occupied by the Chinese Empire.

Tsar Alexander III was terminally ill, the Russian aristocracy was busy collecting money, and the whole of Russia was in chaos, and if it were not for the fact that the Chinese Empire did not want to wage a larger war against Russia, the Chinese Empire's armies would have been fought in the European region of Russia.

The European region is the core area of Russia, and the Asian region of Russia is sparsely populated, and most of the prisoners in Russia are exiled there, and the Russian aristocracy does not value it here.

In the sixth year of Xinghua, the old Tsar Alexander III died, and the new Tsar Nicholas II was a man of great ambition, and Nicholas II was very disgusted with the Chinese Empire that "occupied" 10 million square kilometers of Russian land, so Nicholas II launched a big move after succeeding to the throne, asking Russia to launch a counteroffensive against the Chinese Empire, recapture all the land "occupied" by the Chinese Empire, and even invade the territory of the Chinese Empire.

In order to achieve this goal, Nicholas II even made an example of the Russian nobility. Unclean. Corruption has declined dramatically, and the entire Russian nation has ostensibly made a concerted effort to regain the territory of the Chinese Empire.

Although the Chinese Empire only dispatched the Vermilion Bird Legion to wage war against Russia, the Vermilion Bird Legion was not so easy to defeat, especially the cavalry troops formed by the Chinese Empire in order to conquer Russia, Russia did not have much to deal with, not to mention that there were Chinese Empire airships circling in the sky.

Russia could only speed up the advance of the blockade line, in a vain attempt to use the blockade line to drive the Chinese Empire out, but five years later, the Chinese Empire's troops were still in Western Siberia and Russia. In the confrontation between the armies, Russia not only failed to see the goal of driving the Chinese Empire out of Russian territory, but also failed to expel it from Western Siberia, for which Russia spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and the number of military and civilian casualties was as high as one million.

Secretly, the Russian aristocracy was still receiving various benefits, which made the nobility richer and richer, and the exploitation of the lower classes in Russia was even more serious.

In December of the 11th year of Xinghua, a strike broke out at the Putilov factory in St. Petersburg, and the number of people from all walks of life in St. Petersburg who agreed with the strike continued to increase, and the number of strikers climbed to 80,000.

In the early morning of January 22, the 12th year of Xinghua, Father Gai Pang, an Orthodox clergyman, led a group of about 30,000 workers to a peaceful demonstration in the square outside the Winter Palace, with the purpose of submitting a petition to the Tsar, expressing the plight of the working class and the people at the bottom of society, and the oppression they had suffered, asking the Tsar to carry out social reform and end the Sino-Russian war, and to hope that there would be no overtime work and reasonable treatment.

Nicholas II had moved to Tsarskoye since January 8, and was not in the Winter Palace on the day of the peaceful demonstration, when the armed soldiers in charge of guarding the court confronted the demonstrators, and the crowd had gradually increased to 200,000, holding icons and images of the Tsar, singing hymns and patriotic songs, and the soldiers later fired warning shots into the air, and soon after they opened fire on the crowd, the people fled in panic and rushed to shove, and Father Guypong was also killed in the chaos.

With the official death toll of 96 dead and 333 wounded, the opposition claiming more than 4,000 dead and conservative estimates of about 1,000 casualties, such a bloody crackdown caused public outrage, the Russian people no longer pinned their hopes on the Tsar, and a series of large-scale strikes took place everywhere.

On 17 February, when the carriage of Grand Duke Sergei Aleksandrovich passed through the Kremlin was hit by nitroglycerin bombs, killing Grand Duke Sergei on the spot, Tsar Nicholas II decided to agree to new concessions on the same day, and on 3 March issued the Edict of Bregin, which allowed for the establishment of consultative bodies, the inclusion of all religions, the opening of freedom of language, and the reduction of the cost of peasants to redeem their land.

On August 19, Nicholas II agreed to establish the State Duma (i.e., the Russian parliament), but by restricting the method of elections and granting only minor powers, when it was revealed, unrest intensified, triggering a massive strike in October.

In October, the October Edict, written by the Minister of Finance Sergei Witte and others, was submitted to Nicholas II for approval, the contents of which roughly followed the request made by the local government council in September, allowing a number of basic civil rights, including the formation of political parties, the extension of universal suffrage, and the granting of central legislative power to the State Duma, which Nicholas II finally signed on October 30 on the basis of avoiding further killings and on the grounds that there was no superior military force to control the situation.

When the edict was announced, public opinion in the major cities immediately expressed their support, and the unrest in St. Petersburg and other regions either ended or collapsed quickly, and the government granted amnesty to political prisoners at the same time, and concessions ensued.

In addition, Nicholas II also agreed to the request of the ministers to send personnel to the Chinese Empire to end the war that had lasted for more than ten years, and this news was also supported by a large number of Russians.

Although Russia has decayed and declined, with its strength, Russia is still one of the world's powers, but it is a little lower.

As a world power, Russia's every move has been watched, and so much change has taken place in Russia, as Russia's allies, Britain and France can't help much, and can only hope that Russia will solve it by itself, but fortunately, Russia will make changes after the situation, and the situation in Russia has finally shown signs of stability.

During the period of turmoil in Russia, in addition to frequent social movements, it was also the peak of terrorist assassinations, and various organizations instigated a number of assassinations or robberies against ministers, civil servants and police officers.

Fortunately, the situation in Russia has stabilized, so that the aging Russia can have a chance to take a breath, and no one knows how far Russia can go.
