Urgent - Need pictures and accounts of Tsarist Russia between 1905-1914

[Pogue]

I basically need pictures and quotes about the situation in tsarist Russia in the period sof 1905 - 1914, before tommorow. I know theres some good Stalin ones from when he was an union organiser and revolutionary but I can't locate them.

Bump, come on. Theres one from Stalin about working conditions and one from Trotsky I can remember, but I don't know them excactly. The Trotsky one would be perfect, something about how the tsar would just rip up the October Manifesto.

Here's (http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/empire/gorskii.html) some real colour pictures from pre-war Russia that were commissioned by the Tsar. Nothing revolutionary but very impressive nonetheless. I'll take a look through my bookmarks and see what else I have. Are you specifically looking for Trotsky/Stalin pics?

Edit: Here's some posters and photographs (http://net.lib.byu.edu/~rdh7/wwi/memoir/RusRev/RRpix.htm) from the revolution itself. Wikimedia Commons (see the Revolution here (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Russian_Revolution_of_1917)) is always a first stop of mine when looking up images from particular eras. More to come

What sort of quotes are you looking for?

"Citizens! Our strength is in ourselves. With sword in hand we must stand guard over our freedom. As for the Tsar’s manifesto, look, it’s only a scrap of paper. Here it is before you—here it is crumpled in my fist. Today they have issued it, tomorrow they will take it away and tear it into pieces, just as I am now tearing up this paper freedom before your eyes!"

There's accounts of Tsarist Russia in the third Chapter of the Mass Strike - mainly about the sweeping strikes all across Russia in the period, and about the Tsarist reaction to them.
