Description
In January 1905, thousands of Russian workers marched to the gates of the Winter Palace with the intention of petitioning their ruler for an eight hour work day. They were met by royal guards who opened fire, killing hundreds of demonstrators and sparking an uprising that would shake the Russian Empire. At the heart of this movement was the Soviet of Workers Deputies, a council formed to coordinate mass strikes across Russia. This newly created body became the voice of Russia's revolutionary workers, with Leon Trotsky as their elected leader. Trotsky's account of these events offers a unique perspective on the rise of workers, peasants, and soldiers who would later become known as 'the Great Dress Rehearsal'. Originally written in 1908 for revolutionaries, this new edition reclaims the lessons from that period for today's radicals, providing valuable insights into the dynamics and forces at play.
