Father Georgii Apollonovich Gapon, 1870-1906. Orthodox priest. Born 17.II (5.II, O.S.) 1870. Died 10.IV (28.III, O.S.) 1906 in St. Petersburg. |

Chronology (English) |
1903 founded the Assembly of Russian Workers, a government supported organization meant to offset the pressure of more radical workers’ demands; December 1904 the St. Petersburg industrial workers organized a series of strikes; January 9, 1905 Gapon led workers to present the petition to the Tsar at the Winter Palace asking for more social justice. The police reacted strongly, killing over one hundred demonstrators. This event, known as Bloody Sunday, was a catalyst to the 1905 Revolution; Following Bloody Sunday, Gapon fled to Geneva where he met with prominent revolutionary leaders; 1905 returned to Russia after the October Manifesto; April 10, 1906 Gapon was hanged by the Socialist Revolutionaries in St. Petersburg when his contact with Russian police was revealed. He had thought this “double loyalty” would help the workers’ cause. |
