One morning, January 9, 1905 Grand Duke Vladimir Aleksandrovich was looking down from his window on Petersburg workers that were gathering on the Palace Square.
It is about to begin..., Vladimir Aleksandrovich uttered sadly, as he also saw gendarmes shifting from foot to foot and Cossacks prancing on their horses. I can’t believe how brainless those workers are.
A loud bang came from a distance.
Open fire... said Vladimir Aleksandrovich, crossing himself.

That is a bit sad. Is today Vladimir Vladimirovich day or something like that?

A couple of days ago was the 100th anniversary of the Bloody Sunday. On that day police in St. Petersburg, Russia shot opened fire on unarmed workers. This event sparked the first Russian revolution.
