Social Democratic Workers Party. This was the start of organized
groups that wanted socialism in Russia.

were peacefully protesting in St. Petersburg, but then the soldiers
started shooting. This event was called "Bloody Sunday." After

Vladimir Lenin came back to Russia from a faraway place. His
return was important because he wanted big changes.

Nicholas I, decided he didn't want to be king anymore. He gave up
