1. When the procession of workers led by Father Gapon reached the Winter Palace it was attacked by the

Bloody Sunday, started a series of events that became known as the 1905 Revolution. Strikes took place all
over the country and universities closed down when student bodies staged walkouts, complaining about the
lack of civil liberties. Lawyers, doctors, engineers and other middle-class workers established the Union of
Unions and demanded a constituent assembly.

2. The First World War left a deep imprint on European society and polity. Soldiers came to be placed above
civilians. Politicians and publicists laid great stress on the need for men to be aggressive, strong and

these trenches, trapped with rats feeding on corpses. They faced poisonous gas and enemy shelling, and
witnessed their ranks reduce rapidly. Aggressive war propaganda and national honour occupied centre stage
in the public sphere, while popular support grew for conservative dictatorships that had recently come into
being. Democracy was indeed a young and fragile idea, which could not survive the instabilities of interwar
Europe.
