History
The Novorossiysk Council, formed on December 8–10, 1905 during a political strike, proclaimed its goal to fight the autocracy and establish popular self-government. Under the influence of revolutionary agitation, the Council was joined by soldiers and Cossacks of the local garrison. They disarmed the police , and the workers' squads, including those created in Sochi , Tuapse and Gagra , took control of ports and the railway . On December 14 , by order of the Council, all government offices, except for banks , were closed, the strike was partially stopped, and working committees were organized at enterprises and an 8-hour working day was introduced. The created people's court freed all political prisoners. The press organ of the republic was Izvestia of the Council of Workers' Deputies. On December 24, the government sent a military expedition to Novorossiysk. On December 25 , with the support of an armadillo , imperial troops entered the city. Martial law was declared, arrests and repressions began . The Black Sea Committee of the RSDLP was forced to go underground . A military court sentenced 7 leaders of the Novorossiysk Republic to the death penalty, which was replaced by life imprisonment, and 13 people to various terms of hard labor.
