In this episode of the year 1905, Merisa introduces the show with the infamous "Bloody Sunday" event in which Russian soldiers guarding the Winter Palace killed hundreds of innocent protesters who tried to present a petition to the Czar, Nicholas II. Jordan continues the episode which also takes place in Saint Petersburg, Russia, when Grigori Rasputin makes his way into the Winter Palace and join Nicholas II and his imperial family as their mysterious, mystical healer.    This podcast series is about anything from well-known international events to obscure moments in history. We’re not historians, just two long time friends learning about occurrences that interest us from the 20th century, and then sharing them with each other. Every episode will cover a different topic from each of us, which happened in that year, starting with the year 1900.    Listen to this new show titled “This Year In History”, and if you’re not careful, you just might learn something.   Available on all podcast platforms.  For pictures and bonus information on this episode, subscribe to the This Year In History YouTube channel, and follow us on Instagram and/or "Like" our page on Facebook, where you can continue the conversation with us.  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9wphzLedO4LZayNQTCMEKg/featured  www.instagram.com/thisyearinhistorypodcast  www.facebook.com/thisyearinhistory  Support this podcast by joining the "This Year In History" Patreon, and receive earlier releases, a shout out on the show, and more. www.patreon.com/thisyearinhistory
