The Bloody Sunday-Industrialists

Working conditions are intolerable our twituation is becoming more excruciating as the time goes by. Father Gapon has been like a shaft of Gratifying light that has sh integrity through our darkened hope and made it scrape up to life once again. Four members of the Assembly of Russian workers were dismissed at the putilov iron works 2 sidereal days ago and father Gapon accredited to his word has assisted us by calling for industrial action.110,000 workers in St Petersburg, including myself, have now gone out on strike. We now sit impatiently anxious to see what our next step of action shall be and how it may affect our life in the days yet to grapple. leave alone we fail and go back to our insufferable conditions as they were before, Will we come out on top and operate given the tolerable treatment we deserve, or worse yet will we suffer such a humiliating defeat that our conditions worsen from what they once were. Sitting here I can non help but allow such thoughts to bu lge in my mind, after all this is a significant action by which my life can suffer a vast transformation, whether it will be for better or worse, is still yet to come.January 18thA nonher day has begun and yet another decision has been made Father Gapon has decided to piss a personal appeal to the Tsar. He has wrote a petition postulation to give us healthier working conditions, we have requested a reduction in working days from 10hours to 8hours, a increase in wages and an improvement in working conditions amongst others. The response to our petition amongst the workers is sweep over as an infinite amount of people have signed the petition. We shall go to the winter palace on the 22nd of January to present our petition, in hopes to get a positive response to the requests we have made. I live in hope till the day comes for us to present our petition to the tzar and receive a response expectantly a constructive one at that.22nd January 1905As we marched through the Winter palace w e were road blocked by the host, we attempted to get them out of our way in a calm and rational manner however despite our attempts they refused to involve and let us in. Unable to think of any alternative we unless saw one action we could take that could possibly give us an opportunity to move the army out of our path. Crouching down to the ground the protestors and I gathered stones of the ground and regrettably threw them at the army, although it was regrettable we had no alternative, the army put us in a tough situation from which we could not get out of without putting up a fight.The army needs fought back using water cannon and rubber bullets to disperse of the throng we had formed, however as they begun to fight back we refused to back down, we wanted our rights to be given to us, we wanted to be treated with respect and be turn to to by others with some common decency, is that so much to ask? What we did was not a crime we could have gone much further with the weigh however we did not, we merely stood up for our own rights.We all began to scream and little terror scattering away from one another as a blow up was pulled and a gun shot was heard going off. Within seconds long dozen of our allies are lying dead on the ground they had fair minutes ago picked stones up from, others were wounded and the remainder in shock.The army when questioned claimed they only returned fire, however how could this be true when we approached the winter palace disarm? It is undeniably clear that we could not have fired any shots, we did not fire any shots, and the only shots that were fired were those of the armed force.
