The Moscow Administration and Duma during the December Armed Uprising

Abstract

The article deals with the cooperation between the Moscow Administration and City Council during the December armed uprising. This subject is of great importance in context of the relations of power and public of the Russian Empire in the crisis situations. The author examines the activities of the members of the Council, retaliatory measures of the Administration and the results of this partnership. The author draws to the conclusion that as a result of the struggle between radical groups at the sessions of the Council, busyness of the Administration with suppression of the uprising and its reluctance to mitigate the repressive sanctions the role of the state body wasn’t meaningful in December of 1905.
