Authors : Golnaz Saeidi

Abstract: The Russians 1905-1907 Revolution was the first revolution in the world which had been influenced by the goals of French Great Revolution. Although the revolution seemed a failure, it left great effects in the future progress and changes of Russia and its neighbor countries of that time in as much that many political, social and cultural changes in Iran were influenced by the Russian revolution. The Constitution Movement of 1906 is one of the significant events of Iran and during this revolution, our nation could overcome the medieval dictatorship of authoritarians. The years 1905-1911 were filled of great political, social and particularly cultural changes for the Iranian people. The present study not only reviews the reasons of backwardness of modern intellects in Iran, but also gives information on the grounds for publishing journals and newsstudys in that period., It should be noted that the Iranian cultural situation in that period could be better studied by reviewing publication of journals and newspaper as well as establishing a few cultural centers. Although societies and many formations had been already organized as secret and underground societies and had some activities as well, the most important activities were in political issues and those groups did not pay much attention to the cultural situation of society. Therefore, the journals and newsstudy undertook the role of improving the thought and wisdom of Iranian oppressed people. In addition, this study discusses cultural schools and centers which were established as an influence of the Russian revolution in Caucasia, Baku and Badkubeh during 1906-1911 in addition to the journals and newspapers. In conclusion, it should be noted that in the passage of time, great revolutions and changes in any land would surely influence its nearby people and nations.
