Description
Summary:The authors examine the mass workers’ demonstrations and patriotic manifestations of July 1914 through the analysis of the political violence that spilled onto the streets of St. Petersburg. The strike movement escalated into clashes with the police, and marches in support of the First World War ended with the destruction of the German embassy building. The article discusses the features of the reaction of the population of the capital to the internal social and foreign policy crises. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the political culture of the urban lower classes, who took part both in the protests in the working-class outskirts and in the demonstrations in the city center.
