Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

In Russian. 68 x 46 cm. Pages are yellow and brittle. Four pages (pages 3,4,5,6) of issue of Речь (Rech, "Speech"), published in Petrograd (St. Petersburg), Saturday, 23 September 1917 (Old Style), just weeks before the October Revolution. Affiliation: Constitutional-Democratic (Kadet) Party - liberal, pro-parliamentary. This issue appears during the turbulent interval between the failed Kornilov coup (August 1917) and the Bolshevik seizure of power (October 1917 O.S.), when the Provisional Government under Kerensky was trying to rebuild authority. Page 3 - Political and Government News. Main headline: "Совещание о реконструкции власти" "Conference on Reconstruction of Power." Reports detail deliberations in Petrograd among ministers, party delegates, and soviet representatives on reshaping the Provisional Government after the Kornilov affair. The tone urges unity and legality to prevent civil war. "Выборы в Учредительное Собрание" "Elections to the Constituent Assembly." "Discussion of the upcoming national election. Речь defends constitutional order and universal suffrage, warning extremists on both right and left not to derail the vote. Editorial theme: Reaffirmation that Russia’s salvation lies in lawful representative institutions, not in soviet dictatorship or military command. 2. War Reports and Foreign Dispatches. Section "Война" “The War."Short communiqués from the South-Western, Northern, and Romanian Fronts mention sporadic skirmishes, but emphasize defensive stability and declining German morale. Telegrams from London and Paris: Allied commentary on Russia's political crisis; cautious optimism that order is returning under Kerensky. Headline: "Официальное сообщение союзных правительств" "Official Statement of the Allied Governments," affirming continued recognition of the Provisional Government. 3. Domestic Affairs and Society. Columns discuss grain supply shortages, the railway workers' congress, and appeals to cooperatives to prevent famine. Articles criticize Bolshevik agitators for spreading defeatism and inflaming workers against moderate socialists. Reports on factory committees in Petrograd seeking to balance workers' control with management efficiency - typical liberal-reformist framing. Based on their names, some of the delegates or contributors, such as A. L. Gurevich or I. L. Perelman, are Jewish. 4. Political Commentary and Columns. "Центрофлотъ и правительство" "The Central Fleet Committee and the Government" analyzes friction between sailors and naval command. Речь supports civil authority over revolutionary committees, warning of naval mutiny risk. "Предпарламент" "Pre-Parliament" explains plans to convene an all-party council as a bridge to the future Constituent Assembly - a key Kadet initiative. Editorials attack Lenin’s absentee leadership and his calls for an armed uprising, portraying Bolshevism as a threat to Russia's democratic experiment. 5. Culture, Theater, and Literature. Section "Театръ и литература" reviews new Petrograd productions, including Chekhov revivals and patriotic stage plays. Advertisements announce upcoming concerts, book releases, and public lectures. A small ad lists a Jewish choral evening and a lecture on Biblical music at the "People's House." Another notice mentions the publisher "Еврейское издательство" "Jewish Publishing House" offering new Yiddish and Russian-language works. 6. Chronicle and Local News. Under "Хроника" "Chronicle": reports of robberies, fires, shortages, and municipal decisions by the Petrograd City Duma. Items from Kazan, Moscow, and the South describe strikes, rural unrest, and relief measures. 7. Tone and Political Outlook Liberal, rational, and anti-extremist. Stresses discipline, constitutionalism, and moderation amid revolution. Deep anxiety about state collapse but continued faith in parliamentary democracy.
