Russian Revolution Timeline

Coronation of the Czar

May 25, 1986 Moscow
Dear journal;
What a glorious day today was, with the coronation of the new czar Nicholas. What a grand procession it was along the 6.5 Km route. Tamary, Alexandra, Viktor and I had to fight and struggle nearly 20 ft back, my backaches today since due to our poor position Viktor insisted that [...]

A Disaster of a Picnic

May 27, 1896
Dear journal;
What an “eventful” day today has been. Another show of the incompetence by the czar’s advisors ordering less beer and mugs than necessary for the picnic. How is the czar expected to concentrate on pressing affairs of state when he is constantly cleaning up the mess of those under him?
Let me explain [...]

Tragic News from Alexander

November 11, 1904 St. Petersburg
Dear Journal;
It has been a long time since my last entry, and many things have happened since then.
Probably the most tragic of which was the passing of my mother. She died of age at 48, to young in my books, but longer than many these days, just 1 ½ years after [...]

Bloody Sunday

January 31, 1905 St. Petersburg
Dear Bohdan;
What horrible days these last few have been. The fools all marched down to the palace. Wanting the Czar to meet with them. The guards said no, and started shooting. Didn’t they know the czar wasn’t there? Well I guess I found out what Viktor was doing all those nights, [...]

September 21, 1905 St. Petersburg

Dear friends, co-workers and colleagues, I would like to start of by thanking you for my warm acceptance into your group. I know we will be mutually beneficial, not just amongst our selves, but also for all of Russia.

Address to Social Democrats;
My friends, my brothers, my colleagues, I would like o begin today by thanking you all for granting me this great opportunity to come before you and speak today. It is a great honor.
What great advances the “cause” has made over the past few months. Elected government, freedom [...]

Goals of the Russian Revolution

April 24, 1915 Western Front
Dear Journal;
Here I lay in my bed, condemned for the sins of another. To say the war is going well would be a lie; it is far from going well. I long to be at home with my dear family: my beloved wife, my dear cherished daughter. Alas, here I am [...]

Summary of Russian Revolution

September 4, 1915 Petrograd
Dear Journal;
The social democrats have fallen completely. The Czar, in recent days, has tightened his grip on the country. The Duma has proven its self completely useless, being just a little puppet of the czar outing on a show for all the lowly peasants who know no better than to believe it [...]

Facts About the Russian Revolution

March 12, 1917 Petrograd
Dear Journal;
So much has happened today. Just as I said would happen the czar has been overthrown, thanks God. A giant revolution, men in the streets, running everywhere. Many men lost their lives today in conflicts between the troops, but what a glorious day for all of Russia none the less. At [...]

Causes of the Russian Revolution

April 4, 1917 Petrograd
Dear Journal;
Another great day for Russia has come upon us, Lenin has returned, and none too soon if you ask me. The people long for his words “land, bread and peace” has become his motto. He promises things we have not seen since 1983, when I was still just a boy, and [...]
