Today in Labor History March 13, 1881: Nikolai Rysakov, a member of Narodnaya Volya (“People’s Will”), a revolutionary socialist organization, tried to assassinate Czar Alexander II of Russia. His bomb failed to penetrate the czar’s bullet-proof carriage. However, another Naradnaya Volya member, Ignacy Hryniewiecki, managed to throw his bomb at the Czar’s feet, blowing off his legs and ripping open his stomach. He later died from his wounds. A third member of the organization was ready with yet another bomb, just in case the first two failed.

"in 1905, #Moscow printers demanded to be paid for setting not only letters but also #punctuation marks, which required the same action and the same amount of time as the alphabet. What is known as the #CommaStrike spread popular #boycott throughout the country, leading to the #czar ceding #Russia its first constitution. A #comma can, more or less, get the blood boiling."
