First Russian Revolution 1905–1907 affected all layers of Russian society and responded with a powerful social explosion to problems not resolved by the authorities. Study of the revolutionary process 1905–1907 Based on the materials of Astrakhan, the largest economic center of the Lower Volga region, it seems relevant, as it allows us to highlight not only the specifics of the development of the Astrakhan province, at a turning point in history, but also the general problems of the internal life of Russia, on the timely solution of which the stability of the country depended. The purpose of the article is to study the problem of the development of the strike movement in Astrakhan during the years of the First Russian Revolution. The article was prepared on the basis of local history sources - materials of regional periodicals and archival documents, introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. History of the Study of the Revolution 1905‒1907 in Soviet historiography is extensive, but the research of Soviet historians was carried out exclusively from the standpoint of the Marxist-Leninist paradigm. An analysis of modern domestic historiography has shown that the main tasks solved by researchers are the revision of methodology, key aspects of the problem, such as the activities of political parties and organizations, methods of struggle in various social strata, and, of course, regional studies [15; 16; 20]. In the course of work on the article, chronological, historical-genetic and historical-systemic methods were applied. The study showed that the Astrakhan workers, having demonstrated the ability to unite during the revolution, put forward only economic demands, many of which were eventually satisfied.
