Abstract
This study examines how the Ottomans perceived the Russian revolution of
1905. In order to achieve this, the Russian revolution of 1905 is described from the
eyes of both parties pertaining to the Ottoman empire in 1905, namely the Young
Turk revolutionaries, who were very active in 1905 in Europe and their main target,
the Ottoman imperial government. This thesis is composed of three chapters. The
first chapter provides the reader with a historical background to the Russian
revolution of 1905 and to the Ottoman empire in 1905. Following this, the second
chapter studies the Russian revolution of 1905 from Young Turks’ point of view by
relying upon the Young Turk journals published in Europe and in Egypt during the
subject revolutionary years. The third chapter, which is based on the archival
documents, describes how the Ottoman imperial government regarded the Russian
revolution of 1905.
