Opening of the Douma Triggers Mass Demonstrations in St Petersburg
St Petersburg on March 6 witnessed the opening of the Douma with a large revolutionary demonstration by workers and students. Police and military patrols dispersed crowds with whips and sabres as crowds chanted and banners waved. Deputies emerged to speeches urging parliamentary support against the government amid tense clashes and preparations for a possible second Douma. The scene recalled the 1905 unrest, with the crowd marching along Nevsky Prospect and Four Hundred steps, while officials and gendarmes tried to maintain order.
