Riots were reported at Kazan, Kishineff and Poltava, and two men were killed. In each of the two capitals, St. Petersburg and Moscow, the day was one such as the Russians never before have seen. The Slavic people who, during the long war Just closed and the anxious period preceding the announcement of the new era of constitutionalism, seemed and apathetic, gave themselves fully to the exuberance of the moment and spent the entire day In parades and assemblies, which for the first time in the history of Russia were freely permitted.

The soldiers off duty mingled freely with the demonstrators and fraternized with the populace.
