Talk:History of Russia (1894–1917)

[Untitled]
Italic textwhat happened in 1892 that would explain that precisely this year is chosen for the division of the "Russian history" articles? As it is, it seems pretty arbitrary. dab (&#5839;) 18:35, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Witte and the October Manifesto
It says on this page that Sergey Witte pressured Nicholas into issuing the October Manifesto. However, Witte himself says in his autobiography "...I was rather opposed to the publication of a constitutional manifesto." I am far from a historian (I am a high school modern history student), and it is definately possible (although I'm unsure how probable) that Witte is lying in his autobiography, but this point needs to be clarified, if only to me.

Accelerated industrialization?
The text of this paragraph is allegedly taken from a source [1] which does not exist! How many peasants and how many workers exactly had Russian Empire in 1911-1914?

Lenin's name.
The version of the page I am looking at, says that "Exiled from 1895 to 1899 in Siberia, where he took the name Lenin from the mighty Siberian Lena River". This is more than doubtful, and gives the alias Lenin an importance it did not have at the moment. Lenin used about 160 alias, and it was not his purpose to be known specifically as Lenin. Only the resonance of "What is to be done?" led eventually to this.

Source: "Lenin: A biography, Robert Service".

This page is not about Lenin, so I think it is better just to delete that piece of doubtful information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MoredanKantose (talk • contribs) 09:50, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

The King Loves to Eat Donuts?
Never mind how dumb your edit was, you deleted important page coding that keeps text from running off the side of the page. Stop being such a little punk! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.214.83.14 (talk) 03:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Erm, I'm just going to delete that, if its ok (Shayakylie 2/05/08) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shayakylie (talk • contribs) 23:41, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

"Bolshevik majority, menshevik minority?"
In Russian, bolshevik means from the majority and menshevik from the majority. However, I have been taught, in high school and at university, that the mensheviks were in fact the majority, but the Lenin styled himself bolshevik all the same. I think the statement '. At the Second Party Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party in 1903, he forced the Bund to walk out and induced a split between his majority Bolshevik faction and the minority Menshevik faction' is flawed, but I would rather not make a mistake in correcting it.

I have corrected this. The Mensheviks remained the majority for quite some time —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.170.126.164 (talk) 10:45, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Point of view
Is this not a point of view (that should be removed). "Vladimir I. Ul'yanov (a.k.a. Vladimir Lenin) was the most politically talented of the revolutionary socialists" (in fact the whole paragraph seems full of praise of Lenin)

Anti-Russian sentiment among Sarikoli (Tajiks of Xinjiang) in 1900
In response to increased Tsarist Russian activity in Sarikol (modern day Tashkurgan]] around 1900, the local Sarikoli begs and Sarikoli people feared that Russia was going to annex the region and take it away from China, fearing molestation at the hands of the Russians, they wanted to flee to Yarkand. They did not believe the official explanation that Russia was only concerned with the postal service in the area.

Pogroms
I strayed onto this page because I have made some edits about early Russian Zionists in Palestine. Their biographies all mention the impact of pogroms on their departure. Not to mention the million+ Jews who landed in New York. Just asking. Padres Hana (talk) 21:17, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Start year of this epoch
The article name says "1892-1917", but the article itself shows history from 1894, two years later. Why is the name incorrect? Jack Jackie Pomi (talk) 09:14, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
