On January 9, 1905, a brutal massacre took place in Petersburg Russia, which is also known as Bloody Sunday.
On January 9, 1905, a peaceful protest of workers, led by Father Gapon, marched to the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg to present a petition to Tsar Nicholas II, asking for reforms and improvements in workers ‘ lives. The demands of the petitions were for better working conditions, higher wages, and greater political freedoms.
The protest was going peacefully, people were peacefully carrying religious icons, pictures of Nicholas, and petitions demanding their grievances and desired reforms toward the square. Nicholas was not in the city. The chief of the security police Grand Duke Vladimir tried to stop the march and then ordered his police to fire upon the protesters. More than 100 people were killed, and several were wounded.
Later the event known as Bloody Sunday because of the senseless brutality and violence used by the government against unarmed civilians took place on Sunday. The massacre sparked widespread outrage and protests throughout Russia and led to the development of the Russian Revolution of 1905.
Hence the Bloody Sunday highlighted the brutal suppression of dissent and the need for reforms and led to the creation of the first Russian parliament, the Duma.
