Bloody Sunday, January 9th 1905 | What is the truth?

What took place on Sunday, 9 January 1905, constitutes, even today, one of the most misrepresented events in the history of the Russian Revolution. From the beginning, more than any other event, this event has been set forth as the banner of Communist propaganda and formed the strongest means of slander against Tsar Nicholas II. But what exactly took place on that fateful Sunday?

This video is produced as part of the project for the book "The Romanov Royal Martyrs”, which is an impressive 512-page book, featuring nearly 200 black & white photographs, and a 56-page photo insert of more than 80 high-quality images, colorized by the acclaimed Russian artist Olga Shirnina (Klimbim) and appearing here in print for the first time.
