On April 17, 1912, the Russian government shot and killed Liana gold miners, creating the "Liana Massacre"
On this day, 113 years ago, on April 17, 1912 (March 1, 1912 in the lunar calendar), the Russian government shot and killed Liana gold miners, creating the "Liana Massacre." On April 17, 1912, the Russian government shot and killed Liana gold miners, and the domestic revolution reached a new climax. The Liana gold mine is located on the banks of the Liana River in remote Siberia. Lianna Gold Mining Company was established in the late 19th century and has more than 400 mines. Among the shareholders were the mother of Russian Tsar Nicholas II and many princes and ministers of the tsarist government. In the early 20th century, Russia's political decay led to economic collapse, high debts, and increasing penetration of foreign capital. By 1908, a large part of the shares of the Lianna Gold Mining Company had been transferred to the hands of British capitalists at the Lianna Gold Mining Farm in London Financial Conzerne, and huge profits flowed into their pockets. According to statistics from 1905 to 1910, the company's net income increased 21 times. The increase in these profits also reflected the Russian government's intensified plunder and exploitation of workers at that time. At that time, even the working conditions of the gold miners were extremely harsh, like slaves. The shops, hospitals, courts and prisons set up in the Kuangqu were in their hands, and the workers 'minimum personal rights and minimum living standards could not be maintained. The workers finally went on strike in early 1912 over selling rotten horse meat in a shop. The Bolsheviks led this struggle and asked the authorities to fundamentally change working and living conditions, introduce a six-hour working day, abolish fines, etc. But what government representatives responded to them was barbaric military suppression. On April 17, a team of military police fired on striking workers, killing 250 people and injuring 270 others, creating a major tragedy that shocked the country-the Lianna Massacre. Protest strikes were immediately launched across the country, and a new revolutionary upsurge began in Russia.
