6 Name Date CHAPTER 30 Section 1 PRIMARY SOURCE from Bloody Sunday by Father Gapon On January 22, 1905, a priest named Father Gapon led a peaceful march of about 200,000 workers and their families to the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. The marchers wanted to ask Czar Nicholas II for better working conditions, more personal freedom, and an elected national legislature. As you read the following excerpt from Father Gapon s autobiography, think about what happened on Bloody Sunday. We were not more than thirty yards from the soldiers, being separated from them only by the bridge over the Tarakanovskii Canal, which here marks the border of the city, when suddenly, without any warning and without a moment s delay, was heard the dry crack of many rifle-shots. I was informed later on that a bugle was blown, but we could not hear it above the singing, and even if we had heard it we should not have known what it meant. Vasiliev, with whom I was walking hand in hand, suddenly left hold of my arm and sank upon the snow. One of the workmen who carried the banners fell also. Immediately one of the two police officers to whom I had referred shouted out, What are you doing? How dare you fire upon the portrait of the Tsar? This, of course, had no effect, and both he and the other officer were shot down as I learned afterwards, one was killed and the other dangerously wounded. I turned rapidly to the crowd and shouted to them to lie down, and I also stretched myself out upon the ground. As we lay thus another volley was fired, and another, and yet another, till it seemed as though the shooting was continuous. The crowd first kneeled and then lay flat down, hiding their heads from the rain of bullets, while the rear rows of the procession began to run away. The smoke of the fire lay before us like a thin cloud, and I felt it stiflingly in my throat.... A little boy of ten years, who was carrying a church lantern, fell pierced by a bullet, but still held the lantern tightly and tried to rise again, when another shot struck him down. Both the smiths who had guarded me were killed, as well as all those who were carrying the icons and banners; and all these emblems now lay scattered on the snow. The soldiers were actually shooting into the courtyards of the adjoining houses, where the crowd tried to find refuge and, as I learned afterwards, bullets even struck persons inside, through the windows. At last the firing ceased. I stood up with a few others who remained uninjured and looked down at the bodies that lay prostrate around me. I cried to them, Stand up! But they lay still. I could not at first understand. Why did they lie there? I looked again, and saw that their arms were stretched out lifelessly, and I saw the scarlet stain of blood upon the snow. Then I understood. It was horrible. And my Vasiliev lay dead at my feet. Horror crept into my heart. The thought flashed through my mind, And this is the work of our Little Father, the Tsar. Perhaps this anger saved me, for now I knew in very truth that a new chapter was opened in the book of the history of our people. I stood up, and a little group of workmen gathered round me again. Looking backward, I saw that our line, though still stretching away into the distance, was broken and that many of the people were fleeing. It was in vain that I called to them, and in a moment I stood there, the centre of a few scores of men, trembling with indignation amid the broken ruins of our movement. from Father Gapon, The Story of My Life (1905).

8 from T E N D A Y S T H AT S H O O K T H E W O R L D 1926 John Reed Early in 1917, Russian workers and soldiers rose up against their government and forced Czar Nicholas II to abdicate his throne. A temporary (provisional) government was established, but it soon lost the support of the people. In November 1917, Bolshevik Red Guards stormed the Winter Palace in Petrograd and kicked out the provisional government. An American journalist, John Reed, wrote the following eyewitness account of the storming of the Winter Palace. T H I N K T H R O U G H H I S T O R Y : Recognizing Bias What were John Reed s impressions of the Bolsheviks? Like a black river, filling all the street, without song or cheer we poured through the Red Arch, where the man just ahead of me said in a low voice, Look out, comrades! Don t trust them. They will fire, surely! In the open we began to run, stooping low and bunching together, and jammed up suddenly behind the pedestal of the Alexander Column.... After a few minutes huddling there, some hundreds of men, the army seemed reassured and without any orders suddenly began again to flow forward. By this time, in the light that streamed out of all the Winter Palace windows, I could see that the first two or three hundred men were Red Guards, with only a few scattered soldiers. Over the barricade of firewood we clambered, and leaping down inside gave a triumphant shout as we stumbled on a heap of rifles thrown down by the yunkers 1 who had stood there. On both sides of the main gateway the doors stood wide open, light streamed out, and from the huge pile came not the slightest sound. Carried along by the eager wave of men we were swept into the right-hand entrance, opening into a great bare vaulted room, the cellar of the east wing, from which issued a maze of corridors and staircases. A number of huge packing cases stood about, and upon these the Red Guards and soldiers fell furiously, battering them open with the butts of their rifles, and pulling out carpets, curtains, linen, porcelain, plates, glassware.... One man went strutting around with a bronze clock perched on his shoulder; another found a plume of ostrich feathers, which he stuck in his hat. The looting was just beginning when somebody cried, Comrades! Don t take anything. This is the property of the People! Immediately twenty voices were crying, Stop! Put everything back! Don t take anything! Property of the People! Many hands dragged the spoilers down. Damask and 1. yunkers: the provisional government officials World History: Patterns of Interaction McDougal Littell Inc. 1

9 from Ten Days That Shook the World tapestry were snatched from the arms of those who had them; two men took away the bronze clock. Roughly and hastily the things were crammed back in their cases, and self-appointed sentinels stood guard. It was all utterly spontaneous. Through corridors and up staircases the cry could be heard growing fainter and fainter in the distance, Revolutionary discipline! Property of the People.... We crossed back over to the left entrance, in the west wing. There order was also being established. Clear the Palace! bawled a Red Guard, sticking his head through an inner door. Come, comrades, let s show that we re not thieves and bandits. Everybody out of the Palace except the Commissars, until we get sentries posted. Two Red Guards, a soldier and an officer, stood with revolvers in their hands. Another soldier sat at a table behind them, with pen and paper. Shouts of All out! All out! were heard far and near within, and the Army began to pour through the door, jostling, expostulating, arguing. As each man appeared he was seized by the self-appointed committee, who went through his pockets and looked under his coat. Everything that was plainly not his property was taken away, the man at the table noted it on his paper, and it was carried into a little room. The most amazing assortment of objects were thus confiscated: statuettes, bottles of ink, bedspreads worked with the Imperial monogram, candles, a small oil painting, desk blotters, gold-handled swords, cakes of soap, clothes of every description, blankets. One Red Guard carried three rifles, two of which he had taken away from yunkers; another had four portfolios bulging with written documents. The culprits either sullenly surrendered or pleaded like children. All talking at once the committee explained that stealing was not worthy of the people s champions; often those who had been caught turned around and began to help go through the rest of the comrades. Yunkers came out in bunches of three or four. The committee seized upon them with an excess of zeal, accompanying the search with remarks like, Ah, Provocators! Kornilovists! Counter-revolutionists! Murderers of the People! But there was no violence done, although the yunkers were terrified. They too had their pockets full of small plunder. It was carefully noted down by the scribe, and piled in the little room.... The yunkers were disarmed. Now, will you take up arms against the People any more? demanded clamouring voices. No, answered the yunkers, one by one. Whereupon they were allowed to go free. We asked if we might go inside. The committee was doubtful but the big Red Guard answered firmly that it was forbidden. Who are you anyway? he asked. How do I know that you are not all Kerenskys? 2 (There were five of us, two women.) Pazhal st, tovarishtchi! Way, Comrades! A soldier and a Red Guard appeared in the door, waving the crowd aside, and other guards with fixed bayonets. After them followed single file half-a-dozen men in civilian dress the members of the Provisional Government. First came Kishkin, his face drawn and pale, then Rutenberg, looking sullenly at the floor; Terestchenko was next, glancing sharply around; he stared at us with cold fixity... They passed in silence; the victorious 2. Kerenskys: supporters of Alexander Kerensky, the head of the provisional government World History: Patterns of Interaction McDougal Littell Inc. 2

10 from Ten Days That Shook the World insurrectionists crowded to see, but there were only a few angry mutterings. It was only later that we learned how the people in the street wanted to lynch them, and shots were fired but the sailors brought them safely to Peter-Paul.... In the meanwhile unrebuked we walked into the Palace. There was still a great deal of coming and going, of exploring new-found apartments in the vast edifice, of searching for hidden garrisons of yunkers which did not exist. We went upstairs and wandered through room after room. This part of the Palace had been entered also by other detachments from the side of the Neva. The paintings, statues, tapestries, and rugs of the great state apartments were unharmed; in the offices, however, every desk and cabinet had been ransacked, the papers scattered over the floor, and in the living rooms beds had been stripped of their coverings and wardrobes wrenched open. The most highly prized loot was clothing, which the working people needed. In a room where furniture was stored we came upon two soldiers ripping the elaborate Spanish leather upholstery from chairs. They explained it was to make boots with.... The old Palace servants in their blue and red and gold uniforms stood nervously about, from force of habit repeating, You can t go in there, barin! It is forbidden We penetrated at length to the gold and malachite chamber with crimson brocade hangings where the Ministers had been in session all that day and night, and where the shveitzari had betrayed them to the Red Guards. The long table covered with green baize was just as they had left it, under arrest. Before each empty seat was pen, ink and paper; the papers were scribbled over with beginnings of plans of action, rough drafts of proclamations and manifestos. Most of these were scratched out, as their futility became evident, and the rest of the sheet covered with absent-minded geometrical designs, as the writers sat despondently listening while Minister after Minister proposed chimerical schemes. I took one of these scribbled pages, in the hand writing of Konovalov, which read, The Provisional Government appeals to all classes to support the Provisional Government Source: Excerpt from Ten Days That Shook the World by John Reed (New York: Boni and Liveright, 1926).

14 India and Mahatma Gandhi Many upper class Indians were educated in British schools. They learned the Western ideals of nationalism and democracy. They also grew angry at British domination of Indian life. After World War I, the British promised to give the Indian people greater self rule. After the war, returning Indian soldiers were once again treated as second class citizens. Reforms were not made. About 10,000 Indians gathered at Amritsar to protest British actions. British troops fired on the crowd, killing several hundred. Mohandas K. Gandhi became the leader of India s protest movement. He organized a widespread campaign of noncooperation with the British and passive resistance to unjust laws. He asked Indians to stop buying British goods, attending British schools, paying British taxes, or voting in British-run elections. He also convinced his followers to take these actions without using violence. In 1947, British India (today's India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) won it's independence from Britain
