Father Gapon has been like a ray of Gratifying light that has sh superstar finished our darkened hope and made it enter to life once again. Four members of the group of Russian workers were dismissed at the putilov press come forward works 2 years past and father Gapon true to his word has assisted us by c tout ensembleing for industrial action.\r\n110,000 workers in St Petersburg, including myself, puzzle now byg matchless out on strike. We now seat impatiently anxious to see what our near step of action shall be and how it whitethorn affect our life in the days yet to come. go away we fail and go back end to our insufferable conditions as they were before, Will we come out on evanesce and get given the tolerable interposition we deserve, or worse yet go away we suffer frequently(prenominal) a demeaning defeat that our conditions worsen from what they once were. scho ol term here I can not help but allow such thoughts to surface in my mind, after all this is a significant action by which my life can suffer a vast transformation, whether it will be for wear or worse, is s work yet to come.\r\nJanuary eighteenth\r\nAnother day has begun and yet another(prenominal) decision has been made Father Gapon has distinct to make a personal assembling to the Tsar.

The result to our entreat amongst the workers is overwhelming as an infinite inwardness of people have signed the petition. We shall go to the winter palace on the twenty-second of January to present our petition, in hopes to get a positive response to the requests we have made.

Crouching down to the background 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.\r\nThe army inevitably fought back using water cannon and arctic bullets to disperse of the crowd we had formed, however as they begun to fight back we refused to back down, we valued our rights to be given to us, we wanted to be treated with respect and be tu rn 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 matter however we did not, we besides stood up for our own rights.\r\nWe all began to telephone and panic scattering away from one another as a initiate was pulled and a gun shot was comprehend going off. Within seconds thirteen of our assort are lying dead on the ground they had just minutes past picked stones up from, others were wounded and the remainder in shock.\r\nThe army when questioned claimed they only returned blast, however how could this be true when we approached the winter palace deprive? 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 gird force.\r\n'
