This category brings together articles on revolutionary events connected with Nizhny Novgorod and its surroundings. The city and its industrial districts — above all Sormovo and Kanavino — became the scene of fierce clashes in 1905: the The 1905 Uprising in Sormovo erupted into street fighting in the heart of the workers' quarters. The The February Revolution was felt in Nizhny Novgorod as early as the first days of March 1917, when the city duma, headed by D. V. Sirotkin, responded to the events in Petrograd. Here too can be traced the local imprint of the October Revolution, which established Soviet power across the whole country.
