Document Analysis Activity 5 20th July 2009

Question One: Explain what Nicholas means by ‘rioting and disturbances’ Nicholas means the rioting and disturbances which have recently occurred such as bloody Sunday, the workers strike and much more which were taking place in St Petersburg and the old capital Moscow.

Question Two: List the reforms outlined in the document: (1) To give the population freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of conscience and association. (2) That everyone can vote (3) That all laws had to be passed by a panel of representatives in the government that the tsar did not have autocracy.

Question Three: In your own words, explain what measure no.1 means:

Question Four: Identify the obligations of the Russian people outlined in the document: The obligations of the Russian people are to remember their duties towards their country, to assist in terminating the unprecedented unrest now prevailing, and together to create a harmonious tranquillity society of Russia.

Question Five: On the face of it, does the manifesto sound fair? Explain Of course it does they are giving Russians the freedom of speech and the right to vote also a promise that the tsar can not just make any decision that it now has to go past other government representatives and that the people will have more say. It sounds like a perfect governing society.

Question Six: Using the information given explain the impact of the manifesto on Russia at the time. The Manifesto brought much delight to some of the people of Russia. Some saw it as the right step to Russia’s dreamed harmonious society but many also believed that the constitution would never see the light of day, and it was to hard to believe these new laws would ever come to place. This divided the liberals seeing the Octobrists accept the reform and Constitutional democrats pursed further concessions. But the greatest opposition seen to the October Manifesto was the St Petersburg Soviet they believed that it was a ‘fraud on the people’ and this was a trick for the tsar to rally followers and then strike on the people and ignite the revolution.

Peasants Mostly stayed largely disengaged from the whole saga and were much focused on the government implementing lower taxes and more useful land for them to live and work on.

Urban Workers Many stayed disengaged also and were caught up in more safe and fair workers rights which concerned them such as a push for an ‘8 hour day’. There were a few who were quite political and followers of the October Manifesto but only in the minority. They also wanted better medical support and supplies.
