Aggiungi al carrelloNo Binding. Condizione: Fair. In Russian. 4 pages. 55 x 37 cm. Pages are yellow and brittle. This is the October 25 (November 7), 1917 issue of Наше Общее Дело (Nashe Obshchee Delo, "Our Common Cause"), edited by Vladimir Burtsev and printed in Petrograd on the very day of the Bolshevik Revolution. It is the first and only issue… under the new title, published immediately after the authorities closed the previous paper, Obshchee Delo, for anti-Bolshevik agitation. This issue is a desperate final call to save the collapsing democratic republic. Front Page The leading article, "Граждане, спасайте Россию!" ("Citizens, Save Russia!"), is a dramatic plea for national unity and defense of the Provisional Government. It denounces the Bolsheviks for destroying the army, sowing anarchy, and bringing Russia to ruin. Burtsev urges citizens to defend freedom and legality: "If we do not act now, tomorrow Russia will perish." Next appears "Последнія Извѣстія" ("Latest News") - a series of brief reports describing the deteriorating situation in Petrograd: strikes, shortages, and clashes between soldiers loyal to the government and radicalized units influenced by Bolsheviks. There are rumors of Lenin's return and mutiny among garrison troops. The paper appeals for calm and trust in the legal authorities, warning that mob violence will open the way for dictatorship. Advertisements for "Cooperative Courses," a dentist, and the popular tonic "Udon" occupy the lower section - perhaps the last normal touches of peacetime routine. Page 2 The main editorial, "От редакціи закрытой газеты 'Общее Дело"' ("From the Editors of the Closed Newspaper Obshchee Delo"), explains that the old paper was shut down by "forces hostile to free speech," but the staff immediately resumed publication under a new title. The article defends their civic duty to tell the truth: "We cannot remain silent when the fate of the Republic is at stake." Another major piece, "Катастрофа надвигается" ("A Catastrophe Approaches"), describes the complete collapse of state authority: the army disintegrating, the railways in chaos, and the Soviets assuming power. It warns that the Bolsheviks are preparing an armed coup and that the Provisional Government is powerless to resist without popular support. A dispatch "Вчера ночью въ Смольномъ" ("Last Night in Smolny") reports on the tense Bolshevik headquarters, where delegates of workers and soldiers' Soviets debate insurrection. The paper portrays Smolny as the epicenter of conspiracy. The "Хроника" (Chronicle) column lists street incidents, food queues, minor crimes, and shortages - offering a stark picture of a capital city at the brink of upheaval. Page 3 An essay "Какие они готовились?" ("How They Prepared") details how Bolshevik militants stockpiled weapons in factories and barracks. The author argues that their real goal was not socialism but "absolute personal power." "Генерал Верховский и 'Общее Дело" recounts disputes between the War Minister and liberal journalists over army discipline. Another item, "Бесѣда съ командой 5-й армии" ("Conversation with the Fifth Army"), reports demoralization among front-line soldiers, many begging to return home. The "Печать" ("Press") section quotes liberal and socialist newspapers condemning Lenin's tactics as suicidal. The tone is one of despair and disbelief that the coup can succeed. Page 4 The final page s headline reads "Выступленіе большевиковъ" ("The Bolshevik Uprising"). It gives firsthand telegraphic reports of armed clashes beginning in Petrograd - Red Guards seizing telegraph offices and bridges. The editors confirm that "the revolt has begun." Other columns include "Совѣтъ Республики", covering its final chaotic session, and "Тотъ же методъ" ("The Same Method"), comparing Bolshevik tactics to those of the German militarists. The last line credits: "Издатель-редактор В. Бурцев." It is likely the final issue he edited in Petrograd before the press was seized.

Aggiungi al carrelloNo Binding. Condizione: Fair. In Russian. 4 pages. 55 x 37 cm. Pages are yellow and brittle. This is the October 18 (31), 1917 issue of Общее Дело (Obshchee Delo), the liberal daily newspaper edited by Vladimir Burtsev in Petrograd. It was published exactly one week before the Bolshevik seizure of power. This particular issue, N…o. 20, is one of the most politically charged of the surviving pre-revolutionary runs. A concise summary of all four pages. The issue opens with urgent warnings that the Bolsheviks are preparing a new uprising in Petrograd. The leading editorial, titled "Большевики грозят совершить новые преступления" ("The Bolsheviks Threaten to Commit New Crimes"), describes Bolshevik plans to overthrow the Provisional Government, sabotage the army, and provoke bloodshed. The paper denounces them as traitors serving Germany's interests and appeals to citizens to defend the Republic. Next to the editorial, a headline asks "Кто они?" ("Who Are They?")- a polemical essay dissecting the origins and motives of the Bolsheviks. It claims they have hijacked the language of socialism to gain power through deceit and terror. The author stresses that true socialists stand for democracy and legality, not violence. The "Сегодня" ("Today") section lists key reports: Italy's successful halt of an Austro-German offensive, arrests of provocateurs in Odessa, unrest in Helsingfors (Helsinki), the Petrograd situation, and debates within the Council of the Republic (Совѣт Республики). Other news columns include: Military dispatches on the Italian front; Notes on the continued paralysis of transport and supply in Petrograd; An appeal to expel Bolshevik agitators from factories. Page 2 carries several major essays. "Помощь Германии отъ русскихъ изгнанниковъ" ("Help from Germany to Russian Emigrants") exposes alleged German funding of émigré extremists and agitators who returned after the February Revolution. "Прошлое Деконского" ("The Past of Dekonsky") recounts a scandal involving an opportunistic politician-representing corruption and betrayal of revolutionary ideals. "Заграничная жизнь" ("Foreign Life") provides brief updates from London, Paris, and Madrid, covering European war progress and the growing anxiety over Russia's instability. Page 3 blends polemic and reportage. An article titled "Я отказываюсь служить!" ("I Refuse to Serve!") is a letter from an officer disgusted by anarchy, declaring his withdrawal until authority is restored. "Печать" ("The Press") quotes other liberal and socialist papers lamenting Russia's moral exhaustion. "Театръ и искусство" offers reviews of current plays and Petrograd theaters still operating. Under "Хроника" ("Chronicle") appear short reports on student strikes, economic disruptions, and public lectures. "По телефону из Москвы" ("By Telephone from Moscow") transmits alarming notes about Bolshevik gatherings and food shortages. Page 4 continues the anti-Bolshevik campaign. "Къ выступлению большевиковъ" ("Toward a Bolshevik Uprising") warns of imminent armed revolt, claiming Bolsheviks plan to seize telegraphs and railways. "Совѣт Республики" details sessions of the Provisional Parliament, where Kerensky, Nekrasov, and Avksentiev defend the government and condemn Bolshevik insubordination. "Послѣднія извѣстія" ("Latest News") lists telegrams from the front, worker strikes, and Allied victories. "По городу" reports on city life: power shortages, bread rationing, and disorderly crowds. Advertisements at the bottom announce books, phonographs, and medical services. Throughout, the tone is desperate but resolute-Burtsev's final appeals to prevent civil war and preserve the Republic. Jews are neither mentioned nor alluded to indirectly. The vocabulary remains civic, universal, and moral rather than ethnic or religious.

Aggiungi al carrelloNo Binding. Condizione: Good. In Russian. 4 pages. 55 x 37 cm. Pages are yellowed. This is the October 20 (November 2 New Style), 1917 issue of Общее Дело (Obshchee Delo), the liberal-democratic Petrograd daily edited by Vladimir Burtsev. Printed just five days before the Bolshevik Revolution, this issue (No. 22) is one of the f…inal examples of a freely published anti-Bolshevik newspaper in Russia before the press crackdown. This issue of Obshchee Delo captures the desperate atmosphere in Petrograd as state authority crumbles. Front Page The leading editorial, "Италию постигло национальное несчастье" ("A National Misfortune Has Befallen Italy"), reports on the disastrous Italian defeat at Caporetto. It laments that Russia's internal anarchy mirrors Italy's military catastrophe, calling for unity and discipline to prevent a similar collapse. Another major editorial, "Убрать эту сволочь" ("Remove This Scum"), is a furious condemnation of the Bolsheviks and their leaders. It accuses them of spreading lies, demoralizing soldiers, and preparing a coup. Burtsev insists that society must finally rid itself of "criminal agitators masquerading as revolutionaries." The column "Совѣтъ Республики" (Council of the Republic) summarizes debates in Kerensky's provisional parliament, where ministers warn of conspiracies and food shortages. Reports note arrests of agitators, divisions among socialist factions, and continuing disputes over army discipline. The "Сегодня" ("Today") box lists headlines: threats of Bolshevik riots, Lenin's alleged flight abroad, attempts to sabotage government orders, and Allied news from London and Paris. A poetic tribute "Генералу Л. Г. Корнилову" honors the disgraced general as a patriot who "stood against treachery." Page 2 The leading feature is "П. А. Кропоткинъ о войнѣ" ("P. A. Kropotkin on the War"), quoting the famous anarchist theorist who urges patriotic resistance to German imperialism. Kropotkin calls on socialists to defend Russia's revolution by fighting, not surrendering. Several articles describe the continuing disintegration of order: the police's inability to control Bolsheviks ("Милиционеры-большевики"), food riots, and disputes between army correspondents and the Northern Front command. Telegrams from Warsaw and Vilna (Vilnius) report German occupation and devastation. Page 3 The cultural page includes "Маленький фельетонъ" ("A Little Feuilleton") - a humorous sketch titled "Веселая жизнь" ("A Merry Life") - and the regular "Театръ и искусство" section reviewing Petrograd plays. One review praises "Комедия двора" ("The Court Comedy") at the Liteiny Theater. The "Хроника" (Chronicle) section lists civic updates: strikes, rail accidents, lectures, shortages, and a note about the "Ukrainian movement" and "Bolshevik threats in Kronstadt."Short columns record bread rationing, postal delays, and street crimes. At the bottom appears an anonymous article titled "Кто они - политические дѣятели или германскія шпионы?" ("Who Are They - Political Figures or German Spies?"). It claims Lenin's group receives German funds through Stockholm, urging arrests before "it is too late." Page 4 The back page, dominated by "Телеграммы наших корреспондентов" ("Telegrams from Our Correspondents"), carries reports of Allied advances, local strikes, and agricultural unrest. "Извѣстія дня" ("News of the Day") summarizes events: Lenin's hiding, economic chaos, and workers' protests. "Послѣднія извѣстія" ("Latest News") adds telegrams from the front, including a note that a German landing in Finland is feared. "По городу" covers local incidents: tram shortages, food queues, and a factory explosion. Advertisements for shorthand courses, accounting schools, and employment notices fill the lower columns. No Jewish-related content appears in this issue. The tone throughout is civic, not ethnic; the attacks target Bolsheviks as political enemies, not any nationality or religion.

Aggiungi al carrelloNo Binding. Condizione: Good. In Russian. 4 pages. 55 x 37 cm. This is the October 19 (November 1), 1917 issue of Общее Дело (Obshchee Delo), the liberal evening newspaper edited by Vladimir Burtsev in Petrograd. Printed only days before the Bolshevik coup, this No. 21 issue captures a moment of extreme political disintegration,… showing the last flickers of a free press in revolutionary Russia. Summary This issue of Obshchee Delo focuses on the approaching collapse of the Provisional Government and the spreading threat of a Bolshevik uprising. Front Page The lead article, "Горький въ Кеноссъ" ("Gorky in Knossos"), prints a correspondence from writer Maxim Gorky, reflecting on the moral decay of revolutionary politics. Gorky laments that ideals have been lost amid hatred, calling for compassion and reason. A long report from the Council of the Republic covers debates over the government crisis: Kerensky's coalition is breaking apart, ministers are resigning, and left factions are blocking legislation. Minister N. V. Nekrasov's resignation and charges against Generals Selivanov, Namensky, and Cherkasov are discussed, with speculation that arrests were politically motivated. "Сегодня" ("Today") previews items such as the search for Lenin, the Armenian front's plea for reinforcements, the "unbelievable shrinkage" of the ruble, and reports from Paris and Rome. Short notices mention the Paris Socialist Conference, army desertions, and widespread shortages in Petrograd. Page 2 The feature "Гобартъ и его тѣнь" ("Hobart and His Shadow") is a satirical political portrait mocking double-faced opportunists - probably a jab at a minister or businessman tied to Allied interests. News dispatches follow: Telegrams from Geneva, Paris, and Stockholm detailing Allied diplomacy; Reports on Italy's front line and bombings in Belgium; A column analyzing Germany's new Chancellor Michaelis and Berlin's internal turmoil. The piece "Почему были арестованы генералы Селиванцев, Наменский и Черкассов?" ("Why the Generals Were Arrested") argues they were victims of bureaucratic confusion and factional revenge, not genuine treason. Page 3 A lighter section begins with "Маленький фельетонъ" ("A Little Feuilleton"), a humorous vignette about domestic life and petty officials. Under "Хроника", the page lists city incidents: lectures, thefts, and students' protests. "Театр и искусство" reviews stage performances at the Maly and Alexandrinsky Theaters, highlighting comedies and patriotic plays. "Печать" summarizes commentary from other Russian dailies, most of them pessimistic about the army and government. Small notes describe rail strikes, food rationing, and pleas from the Petrograd Garrison demanding rest or replacement. Page 4 The back page features the regular columns: "По телефону из Москвы" ("By Telephone from Moscow") reports mounting Bolshevik agitation, shortages, and the recall of the Moscow Soviet to an emergency session. "Во Врем. Правительствѣ" ("In the Provisional Government") chronicles ministerial confusion and attempts to coordinate with local Soviets. "Послѣднія извѣстія" ("Latest News") contains telegrams from the fronts, including Allied air raids and local Bolshevik disturbances. "Извѣстія дня" ("News of the Day") compiles short dispatches from Petrograd, London, and Kiev. "По городу" reports minor crimes, transportation halts, and black-market prices. Advertisements fill the lower sections - phonographs, typewriters, and "urgent requests for locksmiths and experienced reporters.".

It appeared at the height of the revolutionary crisis, only about two weeks before the Bolshevik seizure of power. Summary of all 4 Pages: The Saturda…y edition continues Obshchee Delo's liberal-republican, anti-Bolshevik tone. It emphasizes patriotic duty, condemns demagoguery, and appeals for unity under law. Front Page The editorial "Joyful Hopes and Fine Words" opens optimistically: despite turmoil, Russia's democratic experiment can survive if citizens reject extremism and rebuild trust. Yet, hope is mixed with warning-eloquence alone will not save the Republic. The next piece, "To the Pillory!", attacks corrupt profiteers, speculators, and former Tsarist bureaucrats re-entering politics under revolutionary slogans. It calls for moral purification and public exposure of those who exploit chaos. Short reports follow: updates on the Revel (Tallinn) district front, where morale is strained; dispatches from London and Geneva about Allied reactions; and smaller human-interest notices (births, deaths, marriages). The "Сегодня" column lists main contents, previewing articles on Bolshevik agitation, the state of Petrograd, and theater. Page 2 Political commentary dominates. "The Internal Enemy" denounces Bolsheviks as the true counter-revolutionaries who paralyze the army and provoke class hatred. Another column, "Работа большевиков", details Lenin's network in Petrograd factories, alleging they spread false peace promises and sabotage supplies. The article "Америка - Россия" (an interview with an American officer from General Scott's mission) highlights Allied concern: the U.S. admires Russia's democratic ideals but fears disorganization. America, it says, offers friendship if Russia continues fighting Germany. There are smaller pieces: a call for voluntary city patrols to preserve order, and "Whom Do the Old Believers Support?", noting that Old Believers-once persecuted-now back moderate republican values. Page 3 This page blends social commentary, culture, and satire. "Отходъ бѣнцевъ" mocks opportunists leaving politics after losing influence. "Small Matters of Life" discusses price inflation, theft, and shortages. Under "Хроника", short notes record strikes, arrests, and education news. The "Театръ и искусство" section lists performances, revues, and reviews of modern dramas. Columns under "Печать" cite other papers on the peace question and the demoralized press. Page 4 Telegraphic reports dominate. The "По телефону из Москвы" column describes tense calm: Bolsheviks gaining strength, but the Provisional Government still holding. A major item covers a speech by A. I. Gillersohn, Socialist-Revolutionary deputy, defending the Republic and demanding discipline in the Soviets. "Рѣчь А. И. Гиллepсона" argues that revolution without law means ruin. "Latest News" lists the release of Duma deputies, factory disputes, and Allied victories on the Western Front. The "По городу" column gives local notes-tram delays, markets, robberies, lost items-capturing daily life amid disorder. Advertisements at the bottom promote phonographs, magazines, and shops, reflecting a still-functioning urban economy despite collapse. Detailed Thematic Summary 1. Political Tone and Purpose The issue reaffirms Burtsev's vision of a civic, democratic, anti-authoritarian Russia. It condemns both monarchist nostalgia and Bolshevik extremism, warning that chaos would invite dictatorship. The language appeals to "citizens" (граждане), not classes or ethnicities-typical of liberal republican papers before censorship returned. 2. Anti-Bolshevik Coverage Two centerpiece essays-"The Internal Enemy" and "The Work of the Bolsheviks"- outline a narrative of conspiracy: Bolsheviks, allegedly funded by Germany, seek power through manipulation of soldiers' committees and Soviets. . . .

Summary of the full 4-page issue of the Russian émigré newspaper Общее Дело (Obshchee Delo), dated Friday, October 13 (26), 1917, published in Petrograd and edited by V. Burtsev. The four-page edition covers political, military, and soci…al turmoil in Russia during the weeks preceding the Bolshevik Revolution. Its tone is liberal-republican, hostile to both monarchist reaction and Bolshevik extremism, defending the Provisional Government and the democratic coalition in the Soviets. Front Page (p. 1): The leading editorial, titled "Главного из Совѣта Республики не связано не было!" ("The Head of the Council of the Republic Was Not Bound by Anything!"), denounces Bolshevik accusations that the Council of the Republic (recently formed to replace the dissolved Democratic Conference) betrayed revolutionary principles. It insists that the Council was independent and working to preserve unity among democratic forces. The paper stresses legality, national defense, and resistance to anarchy. Other items include telegrams from the Western Front reporting French victories, a dispatch from London about diplomatic relations and Allied confidence, and notices on the Austro-German situation. A column announces the burial of General Krymov, the anti-Bolshevik officer whose suicide followed his failed Kornilov uprising; the tone is solemn but critical of intrigue among officers. The "Сегодня" ("Today") column lists contents: notes on Smolny, the Bolsheviks, documents of the Petrograd Soviet, and several feuilletons. The bottom right advertises state railway bonds worth 750 million rubles-an emblem of the collapsing wartime economy. p. 2: Literary and polemical pieces appear. The story "Синий юнкерь" ("The Blue Cadet") dramatizes confusion among young officer-cadets confronting revolutionary chaos. Articles such as "В Смольном и Мариинском" describe the rivalry between the Bolshevik Smolny headquarters and the moderate Mikhailovsky Palace ministries. Another commentary asks, "Надо ли бояться контрреволюции?" ("Should We Fear Counter-Revolution?"), concluding that the real danger lies in Bolshevik dictatorship, not monarchist plots. The second half revisits "Как хоронили генерала Крымова" ("How General Krymov Was Buried"), portraying divisions between loyalist officers and left-leaning soldiers. The article's pathos underscores the army's moral collapse and foreshadows civil war. p. 3: A fiery editorial "о чего мы дожили!" ("To What We Have Come!") laments Russia's descent into lawlessness: rail strikes, famine, indiscipline, and loss of faith in government. The page labeled Печать ("Press") reprints excerpts and comments from other newspapers, revealing the national press debate on the revolution's course. The Хроника ("Chronicle") column gathers brief notes-local news, education, and university affairs. A major item titled "Автономия Сибири" discusses movements for Siberian regional self-rule, balancing local initiative with the integrity of the Republic. Another article reports on the student congress at Petrograd's higher schools and the politicization of academia. p. 4: The section "По телефону из Москвы" transmits telegraphic bulletins about Moscow's strike situation and public mood. The central article "В Совѣтѣ Республики" gives detailed proceedings of the newly convened Council of the Republic (Pre-Parliament)-debates on army supply, peace prospects, and authority of the Provisional Government. It names Kerensky, Nekrasov, and other ministers defending government policy amid Socialist-Revolutionary and Menshevik criticism.Further down, "Последнія извѣстія" ("Latest News") compiles telegrams from the front, labor disputes, and provincial uprisings. The "Разныя извѣстія" ("Miscellaneous News") column includes minor notices, social items, and advertisements for stenographers and factories- reflecting normal urban life amid upheaval. No Jewish references in this issue.

A long editorial by Vladimir Burtsev analyzing the crisis of national leadership following the failed Kornilov Rebelli…on. Kerensky, head of the Provisional Government, is portrayed as indecisive, trying to preserve revolutionary gains but unable to maintain authority. Kornilov is discussed as a tragic figure - personally brave, motivated by patriotism, yet politically mistaken for trying to restore discipline through force. General Kaledin, the Cossack leader in the Don region, is presented as continuing to rally the "healthy forces" of the army and the Cossacks in defense of order.
