Hist 12: Notes from Friday 25 Feb

Today we continued with the events around the Russian Bloody Sunday, Jan 1905.  We also looked at the Tsar's response in the October Manifesto, and the reasons for it.  We also noted that not everyone was happy with it, even at the start.

Please ensure you read the handout on the Fundamental Laws of 1906, and the two handouts on the Stolypin agricultural reforms.  We'll find that Peter Stolypin is a new "significant" person for us to know.
