"A general strike would be impossible to ignore. Millions of people showing up on the mall demanding change, coupled with millions of closed businesses..."
" In 1903 “the whole of South Russia in May, June and July was aflame,”[3] including Baku where separate wage struggles culminated in a city-wide general strike, and Tiflis, where commercial workers gained a reduction in the working day, and were joined by factory workers. In 1904, massive strike waves broke out in Odessa in the spring, Kiev in July, and Baku in December. This all set the stage for the strikes in St. Petersburg in December 1904 to January 1905 seen as the first step in the 1905 revolution."
Were the Strikes, "General" and otherwise in Baku, Taflis, Kiev, Odessa and St. Petersberg"conservative", Comrade Useful Idiot?
