The Russian Revolution of 1905, also known as the First Russian Revolution, was a wave of mass political and social unrest that spread through vast areas of the Russian Empire. It included labor strikes, peasant unrest, military mutinies, and the formation of grassroots councils (soviets) of people's power. It is widely felt that the 1905 revolution set the stage for the 1917 Russian Revolutions, and for Bolshevism to emerge as a distinct political movement. Lenin later called it "The Great Dress Rehearsal", without which the "victory of the October Revolution in 1917 would have been impossible".
The 1905 revolution was spurred by the Russian defeat in the Russo-Japanese War, which ended in the same year, but also by the growing realization by a variety of sectors of society of the need for reform in the face of agrarian crisis, economic stagnation, and political repression. However, it is generally felt that the detonator of the insurrection were the events of βBloody Sundayβ, in which a mass demonstration -led by priest and police agent, Georgy Gapon- which had sought to petition the Tsar for relief, was fired upon by the troops, killing hundreds of marchers.
There followed clashes in St. Petersburg, and spreading unrest throughout the rest of the Russian Empire. Strikes spread in three great waves: January, October, and November. In June the crew of the battleship Potemkin famously mutinied against their officers. There were further clashes in St. Petersburg in December.
The rebellion did not overthrow the autocracy, but by late 1905 the Tsar felt obligated by events to agree to constitutional reforms, including the establishment of the State Duma, a multi-party political system, and the Russian Constitution of 1906.

Holy fuck, how do you Windows programmers cope with the Visual Studio build system? I thought GNU Autotools was bad...
All I wanted to do was build the Source Engine 2013 SDK without downloading all of VS2013 (it needs that version specifically, still better than managing Autotools versions) because the only storage attached to my PC is like a 300gb hard drive I found in the trash. So I installed just the VS2013 build tools (actually the VS2022 build tools first before I found out those aren't compatible or something lol). First, msbuild would just complete successfully without doing anything at all (confusion level: ???) but then I found online somewhere you have to actually open the solution file (extremely corpo name) that Valve's solution file generator thing generates in VS2013 for it to actually do anything (?). That would have been the end of this project because I literally can't afford the storage space for VS rn but thankfully in another post online I found a giant list of repeating text and UUIDs attached to them (??????) that I could append to the solution file to make it actually try to build the code. But now I just keep getting all kinds of error messages that have no meaning to me.
Wtf does
error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found.mean? Apparently something is wrong with the registry settings for msbuild? I have no idea. I would write a Windows-hating screed here but I think I'm just gonna go to bed for now.That's more of a shitty cpp project issue, not visual studio. Pick up any csharp project on the internet and it will build instantly on visual studio without any issue.
I've never worked with C# so I'll have to take your word for it.
