Body of Father Gapon, 1906

Father Georgiy Apollonovich Gapon (February 17, 1870 - April 10, 1906) was a Russian Orthodox priest and a popular working class leader before the Russian Revolution of 1905. Gapon organized the Assembly of Russian Factory and Mill Workers of St. Petersburg. The Assembly's objectives were to defend workers' rights and to elevate their moral and religious status. Only persons of Russian Orthodox denomination were eligible to join its ranks. From the end of 1904, Gapon started to cooperate with radicals who championed the abolition of the Tsar's autocracy. On January 22 ,1905, the day after a general strike burst out in St. Petersburg, Gapon organized a workers' procession to present a petition to the Tsar, which ended tragically in the Bloody Sunday Massacre. Gapon's life was saved by Pinchas Rutenberg, who took him away from the gunfire. Following Bloody Sunday, Gapon called upon the workers to take action against the regime, but soon after escaped abroad. After the October Manifesto, before the end of 1905, Gapon returned to Russia. On March 26, 1906 Gapon arrived to meet Rutenberg in a rented cottage outside St. Petersburg, and after a month he was found there hanged. No photographer credited, dated 1906.
