The Highest Manifesto on the improvement of the state order is a legislative act of the Supreme Power of the Russian Empire, promulgated on October 17, 1905. It was developed by Sergei Witte on behalf of Emperor Nicholas II in connection with incessant “confusion.”
In October, a strike began in Moscow, which swept the whole country and turned into a All-Russian October political strike. On October 12-18, over 2 million people went on strike in various industries. This general strike and, above all, the railroad strike, and forced the emperor to make concessions.
