Stelepin's Report From Gadne - The Hallmarks of the Stalipan Reforms

Stalepin was a big dude, physically imposing. He was tall and barrel chested. And he did not personally shrink from a fight. Stelepin navigated revolution of 19 o five better than most of his colleagues. When the general strike hit in october 19 o five, stalepin declared martial law and promised to meet violence with violence. But though stalepin understood that the use of repressive force only addressed the symptoms, not the underlying disease, that did not mean he was against using repressive force against rebels and revolutionaries.
