<P> Nicholas II's government knew an uprising was being planned but allowed it because it would justify crushing the revolutionaries . The Tsar wrote to his mother: "Although the events in Moscow are very distressing and cause me much pain, it seems to me that they are for the best ." </P> <P> Moscow's Bolsheviks, Mensheviks and Socialist Revolutionaries planned a revolt on December 5 and hastily called a general strike on December 7 . During the first two days, the strike went on peacefully . On December 9, the situation changed . </P> <P> There were four soviets of workers' deputies coordinating the uprising . The governor of Moscow, Vice Admiral Fyodor Dubasov, tried to arrest the ringleaders, which merely provoked a citywide uprising . The revolt was based in Maxim Gorky's apartment--bombs were made in the study and food for the revolutionaries in the kitchen . Gorky disliked the Bolsheviks' dogmatic collectivism but saw them as an ally against the backward peasants and Tsar . The Joint Council of Volunteer Fighting Squads armed the workers with 800 stockpiled weapons . Barricades were made from whatever people laid their hands on, even overturned trams . 2,000 manned the barricades with 200 guns . The police tried to dismantle them to no avail . Workers were joined by students and even some bourgeois, angered at the violence of the government . </P> <P> December 9: About 150 representatives of Moscow's worker squads gathered at Fidler's technical school, the workers' "war ministry," where thousands of worker squads had received military training . Troops shelled Fidler from 10 pm to 3 am despite the besieged waving the white flag . Most workers were killed . </P>
