	Russia - Part II
		At this moment Gapon tried hard to confine the negotiations to the points in dispute, whereas the agitators put forward demands of a wider kind, such as the eight-hour working day, and they gradually obtained his concurrence on condition that no political demands should be introduced into the programme.
		Gapon was no longer merely the president of the Workmen's Union: inebriated with the excitement he had done so much to create, he now imagined himself the representative of the oppressed Russian people, and the heroic leader of a great political revolution.
		At one of the first volleys Father Gapon fell, but he turned out to be quite unhurt, and was spirited away to his place of refuge, whence he escaped across the frontier.

	The Russian Revolution
		Gapon came from a peasant family in the Ukraine, and as a young man he had been much moved by Tolstoy's conception of nonviolence and of a mild and loving anarchy as the solution for the problems of the world.
		Gapon, however, could not be found, and nothing then remained to be done but to bring as many police and soldiers as possible into the city, and to wait and see what the next day would bring forth.
		Gapon carried in his hand their petition for an eight-hour day, a minimum wage of one ruble a day (about fifty cents), no overtime and a constituent assembly; and this he hoped to hand personally to the Czar while the crowd waited in the snow outside the palace.

		Having gone so far, Gapon, influenced by political agitators, was forced to end this movement by some extreme act, and, instigated by the agitators, began to instill among the workmen the idea of presenting publicly to the Emperor a petition from the workmen expressing their needs.
		The faith in the possibility of presenting the petition in such manner was strengthened still more by the belief in the minds of the workmen that Gapon was not in their eyes a casual secret agitator, but a priest, acting as the president of a legally instituted society.
		They further knew that the mass of the workmen were ignorant of the political demands introduced into their petition, and falsely believed that to His Majesty would be presented merely a petition for the satisfaction of some of the needs of the working classes.

	Lenin: 1905/rd: Father Gapon
		That Father Gapon is an agent-provocateur is a surmise that would seem to be borne out by the fact that he is a member and one of the ringleaders of the Zubatov society.
		We cannot, therefore, flatly dismiss the idea that Father Gapon may be a sincere Christian Socialist and that it was Bloody Sunday which converted him to the truly revolutionary path.
		However that may be, the policy of the Social-Democrats in regard to this new leader was self-evident: to maintain a careful, guarded, sceptical attitude towards this Zubatovist; in any case, to participate vigorously in the initiated strike movement (even though it was initiated by a Zubatovist); to popularise energetically the Social-Democratic views and slogans.

		We cannot flatly dismiss the idea that Father Gapon may be a sincere Christian socialist and that it was Bloody Sunday which converted him to the truly revolutionary path.
		We are inclined to support this idea, especially since Gapon’s letters written after the massacre of 9 January declaring that “we have no Tsar,” his call to fight for freedom, etc., are facts that speak for his honesty and sincerity.

	THE VOICE OF RUSSIA [Tid-Bits of the Week ]
		In the early 20th century revolutionary movement in Russia was on the rise and taking part in it were people who played a double game of sorts collaborating with the police and at the same time using this collaboration to realize their anti-government plans.
		That was when he first knew the true taste of public admiration and chose to devote his life to saying sermons, which produced a strong impression on the parishioners.
		But as revolutionary movement gained strength, he knew he had to change course in the direction of closer ties with revolutionaries, since events of historical importance were just around the corner and he had to be on their crest.

		Then Father Gapon read the tuition which was to be presented to the Tsar on that day - a strange mixture of well-known Liberal demands with others of the most naive and impracticable character.
		In conversation, Father Gapon said he had written that day to the Minister of the Interior pledging his own life and the lives of his supporters that the person of the Tsar would not be touched.
		What chiefly struck one in Father Gapon's conversation was the careless way in which he spoke of the possibility of his own death or the butchery of his followers, and the lack of a sense of the grave responsibility he was taking upon himself.

		That was an undisguised political provocation on the part of revolutionaries, for they spoke out as if representing the will of people and attempted to lay claims on the unwanted government in the severe conditions of the war with Japan.
		Father Gapon suggested that the workers present their petition to the Tsar and the procession was set for Sunday, January 9th.

		We were not more than thirty yards from the soldiers, being separated from them only by the bridge over the Tarakanovskii Canal, which here marks the border of the city, when suddenly, without any warning and without a moment's delay, was heard the dry crack of many rifle-shots.
