The term '''Russian Revolution''' can refer to two separate events. The first revolution was attempted in 1905, but was unsuccessful. It began with "Bloody Sunday", a peaceful protest for improvements to working conditions. The protesters were gunned down by soldiers, under orders from Tsar [[Nicholas II]]. It did, however, lead to the formation of a parliament with limited powers, known as the Duma.
