Year 1906

Prologue

Prologue

Apr 21, 2019

With battle cries whistling from your lips,

With fiery hearts you fell,

Yet your death so free, so holy to us,

Like a talisman, your martyrdom is dear to us.

And blood, so innocent,

Glowed on the white snow,

It will not disappear for years to come -

It will glow on our banners.

Peace to you! Your lips so silent,

But their silence will scream so loud...

And for years to come new regiments for the revolution

From an enslaved folk will grow.

The year is 1906, Livonian Governorate, region of Riga. The Tsarist secret police got the upper hand in their fight against the social democrat insurgents. There is but one group left dedicated to win the revolution, by launching a reckless robbery on a factory. A world of love, danger, freedom, it is certain even bystanders will have to pay the price for an act they didn't commit.

The Revolution of 1905 is often not mentioned nowadays due to the glorification of it by the USSR. It was one of the years where Latvians were actively involved in underground rebel movements. Nicknames, secret meetings, recklessness, romance, betrayal, death. A very good base to write a novel about.
