His activities during the [[1905 Revolution]] were primarily in sourcing finance for the Bolshevik revolutionaries, including organizing bank robberies. Krasin helped organize the [[1907 Tiflis bank robbery]], a bloody crime that took place in the middle of [[Yerevan Square]], killing forty and injuring 50.
