Abstract
This article explores protest in the Russian Revolution of 1905, taking a thematic perspective whilst looking at a series of case studies. Drawing on a fresh source record including previously unseen police reports from Moscow, Ekaterinoslav and Tomsk, the article takes a regional perspective concerning a series of protests. It explores similarities and differences in demonstrations and funerals for murdered revolutionaries raised in these locations, and the culture of street protest developed by a variety of political actors including Russia’s social democrats. Particularly of interest are the uses of music and song, the cult of ‘martyring’ dead revolutionaries, and religious iconography as used by avowedly atheistic groups. The article is arranged thematically, exploring these different points in comparative perspective.
