Today in History. Oct 30, 1905. The October Manifesto.

On this day in *1905**, **Emperor Nicholas II of Russia* issued the **October Manifesto**, which effectively ended the period of absolute autocracy in Russia and introduced a **constitutional monarchy**. This manifesto was a response to widespread unrest and political pressure, particularly from the 1905 Russian Revolution.

The October Manifesto granted significant civil liberties, including *freedom of speech, assembly, and association**, and established a **legislative assembly* known as the **Duma**, which would participate in governing. While the manifesto marked a pivotal shift in Russian politics, giving people a voice in governance, the autocracy retained significant powers, and tensions would continue to mount, ultimately contributing to the Russian Revolution of 1917.
