À propos de ce contenu audio

 On a freezing January morning in 1905, tens of thousands of Russian workers and their families marched peacefully toward the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, carrying icons and portraits of the tsar. They hoped to present a petition to Nicholas II, asking for better wages, shorter hours, and an end to the Russo-Japanese War. Instead, soldiers opened fire. Hundreds were killed. That day—Bloody Sunday—shattered the myth of the tsar as a benevolent father to his people. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the lead-up to that massacre: the deep inequality of Russian society, the devastating war with Japan, and the rise of revolutionary movements like the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks. They discuss how a peaceful protest turned into a slaughter, and how the tsar's response—the October Manifesto and the creation of the Duma—failed to quell the growing unrest. The episode sets the stage for the revolutions of 1917, introducing key figures like Father Gapon, Lenin, and Rasputin, and explaining why Bloody Sunday was the first crack in the Romanov dynasty's grip on power.
