Petition to the tsar-father. Revolution.
Direct action of the masses against the head of state power.
Revolutionaries: a small group (several hundred people) — leaders of the proletariat and thereby leaders of the revolution. Trotsky 423.
4) Strikes (the first revolution in world history that can best and most precisely be grasped and studied through the history and statistics of strikes).
