The Lena massacre or Lena execution refers to the shooting of striking goldfield workers by Russia's tsarist army in northeast Siberia near the Lena River. As the court prepared to celebrate the Romanov tercentenary, unrest among the workers continued to grow. At the Lena gold mines, a drunken police officer ordered his men to fire at demonstrators, and two hundred people were killed. ©TopFoto.
