Question

In the winter of 1917, conditions in the capital, Petrograd, were awful. The layout of the city

seemed to emphasise the divisions among its people as workers quarters and factories were on

the right bank of Neva river while Winter Palace and official building were on the left. In

February 1917, there was acute shortage of food in Russia which made the life of workers very

difficult. Parliamentarians were opposed to the Tsar’s desire to dissolve the Duma.

On 22nd February, a lockout took place at a factory on the right bank of the river Neva. The next

day, fifty factories called a strike in sympathy. In many factories, women also led the way to

strikes on 23rd February, 1917.The day came to be called International Women’s Day.
