Abstract

The article reveals the state-sanctioned violence against women in the 1905–1907 revolution, using a biographical approach to the cases of Matilde Krēgere (1880–?) and Emma Rigerte, b. Lietuviete (1879–?). Both cases resulted from the 1926 call of the society “The Fifth Year” for active revolutionaries to submit questionnaires about their experiences. The soldiers and police officers of the Russian Empire who perpetrated physical and sexual violence during the revolution avoided the trial; thus, the offer of society to document episodes of violence, albeit in the form of laconic findings, seemed like the first step towards justice.
