 Pinhas Rutenberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gapon collaborated in secret with the Police Department (the Okhranka), which believed this is the way to control the workers movement.
Gapon and Rutenberg fled abroad, welcomed in Europe both by prominent Russian emigrants Georgy Plekhanov, Vladimir Lenin, Pyotr Kropotkin, and French socialist leaders Jean Jaures and Georges Clemenceau.
Gapon soon revealed to Rutenberg his contacts with the police and tried to recruit him, too, reasoning that double loyalty is helpful to the workers’ cause.

George Gapon was among the most prominent of Russia's reformist clergy, noted for his extraordinary personal generosity as well as for his efforts to create active Orthodox charitable organisations.
Gapon led a religious-political procession of workers through the streets of St. Petersburg; besides their icons and sacred banners, the marchers carried a petition calling upon their "father" the Emperor to improve working conditions and, more radically, to establish an elected democratic government.
Gapon's religious sincerity has frequently been denied, and the imperial government suspected his charitable activities were from the start fronts for subversion.

Having this purpose in view, in compliance with the petition of the organizers of the society, the chaplain of the St. Petersburg prison, George Gapon, was instituted president of the above- mentioned society.
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.

 The revolt on the armored cruiser Potemkin
It was the "George the Conqueror," the same ship whose crew had refused to take part in the unrest in the naval barracks at Sevastopol in November, 1904, owing to which there had been bad blood between the crews of the "George the Conqueror" and the "Potemkin" which had taken part in this affair.
After this the "George the Conqueror," joined the "Potemkin." While carrying out this operation of clearing out the counter-revolutionary officers, a tremendous mistake was made that afterwards destroyed the whole revolt which had commenced so brilliantly.
Naturally, the "Potemkin" should have immediately sent the torpedo-boat to the "George the Conqueror," to arrest the petty officers, to put the guards at the guns and then compel one of the steamers in the harbour to tow the cruiser off the shoal and not allow the soldiers to join with it.

George was a gold prospector and safari hunter before he became a game warden.
Starting at midnight (between January 2 to 3), George kept his campfires burning and a small contingent was left in place to make enough noise and commotions to convince the British that the entire Continental Army was also staying put.
Under cover of darkness, George led the main body of his army along an ungarded road to go behind the British encampment so that come day-break, the British were confused at finding George's army behind them, instead of in front of them.
