Rebels and strikes ripple across Russia amid unrest
In St Petersburg a plenary meeting of workers from 130,000 represented groups plans a general strike, though timing remains uncertain. Authorities tighten censorship on foreign press while samenkov, a key revolutionary, escapes Sebastopol. Monks defend a monastery as peasantry attacks, and a naval court sentences mutineers linked to the 1905 Black Sea incident. A Russian bombing investigation touches on the Kurjer steamer, with money stolen on the Wartuy-Viand run. Armenians and Tartars renew fighting near Shusha with peace talks urged.
