The Russian Revolution of 1905, also known as the First Russian Revolution, was a wave of mass political and social unrest that spread through vast areas of the Russian Empire. It included labor strikes, peasant unrest, military mutinies, and the formation of grassroots councils (soviets) of people’s power. It is widely felt that the 1905 revolution set the stage for the 1917 Russian Revolutions, and for Bolshevism to emerge as a distinct political movement. Lenin later called it “The Great Dress Rehearsal”, without which the “victory of the October Revolution in 1917 would have been impossible”.
The 1905 revolution was spurred by the Russian defeat in the Russo-Japanese War, which ended in the same year, but also by the growing realization by a variety of sectors of society of the need for reform in the face of agrarian crisis, economic stagnation, and political repression. However, it is generally felt that the detonator of the insurrection were the events of “Bloody Sunday”, in which a mass demonstration -led by priest and police agent, Georgy Gapon- which had sought to petition the Tsar for relief, was fired upon by the troops, killing hundreds of marchers.
There followed clashes in St. Petersburg, and spreading unrest throughout the rest of the Russian Empire. Strikes spread in three great waves: January, October, and November. In June the crew of the battleship Potemkin famously mutinied against their officers. There were further clashes in St. Petersburg in December.
The rebellion did not overthrow the autocracy, but by late 1905 the Tsar felt obligated by events to agree to constitutional reforms, including the establishment of the State Duma, a multi-party political system, and the Russian Constitution of 1906.

friends, it is with a heavy heart i must inform you that i have contracted a case of the big horny. i hope you will be understanding as i proceed to do absolutely nothing with this condition, aside from trying very hard to suppress fantasies and being cripplingly awkward around people i find vaguely attractive (and not even in an endearing way!), eventually blooming into all-out avoidance.
i have already attempted to turn myself in to the volcel police, but they told me that all their officers were already occupied with more pressing cases. if those people are indeed worse off than me, i only hope they can get the help they need, sooner rather than later. the fact that some people disrespect our boys in blue balls makes me sick to my stomach.
I stand in solidarity with you comrade
It should be easier to be horny. Imagine what dating apps could accomplish if they were designed to actually help people.
