COMPREHENSION BASED QUESTION: READ THE PARA AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW- 1.Russia was an autocracy and even at the beginning of the twentieth century, the Tsar was not subject to Parliament. During the Revolution of 1905, Russia along with the Social Democrats and Socialist Revolutionaries, worked with peasants and workers to demand a constitution. For Russian workers, bad times started from the year 1904 as prices of essential goods rose and their real wages declined by 20 percent. Workers went on strike demanding a reduction in the working day to eight hours, an increase in wages, and an improvement in working conditions. The procession was attacked by the police and the Cossacks when it reached the Winter Palace. The incident, known as Bloody Sunday, started a series of events that resulted in the 1905 Revolution.
