Some of the causes of the 1905 revolution were due to poor working and living conditions. For instance, up to 15 people would share one room to live in, because of this demonstrations such as the one outside the Winter Palace commonly known as Bloody Sunday took place. 100’s were killed due to horrific misunderstanding by the Russian army. In many ways this helped fuel Russian Revolt.

OUTER WORLD- social context Firstly outer world. We will be discussing the social context of Ubu Roi and how it affected Jarry’s 19th century playwright. (change slide) In early 19th century Paris was threatened by dirty and unsanitary living conditions; (change slide) coal was the main source of fuel for heating and cooking, (change slide) streets had open drains and (change slide) sewers filled with garbage and human waste. Leading to inevitably more people in the early 19th century dying of disease and illness, rather than people being born. This relates to the way Jarry describes not only the cleanliness of the people in Ubu Roi, but also shows the grossness and foulness of their very existence.
And yet, gentrification is not necessarily understood completely and has simply been associated with displacement. When trying to understand such a complex concept, it is crucial to have in mind the idea of ownership concerning the public and private spheres. Through the analysis of different economic, cultural and aesthetic factors, this paper will examine and explore the impact gentrification has on urban spaces as well as the artists’ responses to this revitalization process.

The reactionary reign of Alexander III led to a tightening of government control and the persecution of minority groups, such as Jews, within the Empire. Another long-term cause of the 1905 Revolution was the worsening conditions of both peasants and urban workers. The famines in 1897, 1898 and 1901 had led to shortage and distress in the countryside. Living and working conditions in Russia’s industrial towns were no better. Workers worked in poorly ventilated factories for long hours and little pay.
