1st edition. Original printed paper wrappers, 8vo, 22 pages, 23 cm. In French. Title translates as, "The War, The Russian Revolution, and Zionism." "publie par le Bureau d'organisation sioniste a` Copenhague 1917." The Petrograd Conference was the "seventh national conference of the Russian Zionists and the first after the February 1917 Revolution. It opened on June 6, 1917. Five hundred and fifty-two delegates, representing 140,000 shekel holders from 680 cities and towns, took part in the conference. In the new Russia, the conference demonstrated the growing power of Zionism among Jewry and defined the Russian Zionists' attitude toward the problems of the World Zionist movement and the upbuilding of Erez Israel. It discussed the specific problems of the Russian Jews under the democratic regime with the hope of expanding the movement, which up to that time had acted mainly illegally. Jehiel Tschlenow [E.W. Tschlenow, this imprint's author] and Menahem Ussishkin were elected as presidents of the conference. In his programmatic address, Tschlenow said that the main task of the conference was to lay the foundations for Jewish national autonomy in Russia, as well as to emphasize the Jewish people's aspiration to return to Erez Israel. Ussishkin spoke of the need to immediately mobilize Jewish capital for settlement work, especially for the purchase of land, and to train pioneer workers. This seven-day conference was the last free countrywide expression of the Russian Zionist movement before the October Revolution of the same year became the starting point of its persecution and liquidation" (Arie Rafaeli-Zenziper in EJ). Tschlenow opens his speech with great hope and excitement at the recent revolution, welcoming the attendees "to this first meeting in free Russia, you who come to publicly proclaim the hope of our people yearning for liberty and rebirth, and who come to discuss our future work. Nowhere else, it seems to me, could we find, at present, such a resounding echo as in this city, where, barely three months ago, the heavy links of the chain that had bound the life of the immense Empire were broken. For about a century, since the glorious advent of the Decembrists, the invisible preliminary work had been underway.How much innocent blood was shed! In this blood, we are proud to note-there is also some of our own, Jewish blood. Well then, in this solemn moment, let us recall the memory of those who did not have the joy of greeting the present hour, this hour that makes up for all sorrows. Only three weeks have passed since Russia won its freedom and the Provisional Government, in cooperation with the Soldiers' and Workers' Council, washed away the stain that had defiled Russia for centuries. I am referring to the disgrace known as "the deprivation of the rights of the Jewish people." It seemed that this stain had become one with the very flesh of the Russian people and that only blood could remove it. Well, no. The great purifying torrent of the Revolution washed away the filth in a single stroke, irrevocably and without suffering. The sorrowful history of our people knows no other example of the destruction of such a vast ghetto, nor of a liberation established with such simplicity, on the one hand, and accepted with such dignity, on the other. We enthusiastically salute the Provisional Government and beg it to believe in our support and devotion to the heroic work of freedom and greatness for Russia that it has undertaken. On March 21st, the weight of a burden under which Russian Judaism had been collapsing was lifted. Our hands, so long chained, were freed. The immensity of space unfolded before our minds, before our eyes, still unaccustomed to such splendor. It is precisely at this moment that we, the Russian branch of the Jewish people, will be able, thanks to our accumulated strength and energy, to tackle the national edifice, the work of addressing the great national problems." He concludes: ".here are the walls of the immense ghetto that have just crumbled. And soon the other ghettos will follow, too. Principles of a new life, springing from the global struggle, carry within them the realization of the most beautiful, the most sacred of dreams, which has always shone on the painful path of our wandering people. We, gentlemen, aspire to our place in the sun, not only to warm ourselves better, but also for other, more generous reasons. We are certain that when our people live a normal life on their own soil, their national genius will fully unfold; we are certain that then the era will be reborn when they created not only for themselves but also for humanity, the era when they produced eternal books and proclaimed eternal truths. A long, sunlit road stretches before us. We live by this faith. It is this faith that inspires us. It is with this faith that we will win!" Yefim Vladimirovich Tschlenow (1863-1918) was a "Zionist leader. Born in Kremenchug, Ukraine, into a well-todo hasidic family, Tschlenow studied medicine in Moscow where his family had settled in 1876. He graduated as a physician in 1888 and became a well-known practitioner. The pogroms of 1881 turned Tschlenow from a sympathizer with the revolutionary populists (Narodniki) into a Jewish nationalist. In 1883 he became active in the Moscow Hibbat Zion group, Benei Zion (to which Menaem Ussishkin, Jacob Mazeh, and Abraham Idelson belonged). After some hesitation, he joined Herzl 's Zionist Organization and attended Zionist Congresses. Tschlenow presided at the all-Russian Zionist Conference in Minsk in 1902. During the Uganda controversy at the Sixth Zionist Congress (1903), Tschlenow left the hall after the vote in favor of Herzl's proposal and 128 other opposition delegates followed him. He published a series of articles in the Zionist press against the Uganda scheme entitled 'Zion and Africa.' At the Helsingfors Conference (1906), he was an articulate promoter of the idea that the political goal of Zionism must be.…

After the February Revolution and abdication of Tsar Nicholas II, Kerensky, as Minister of War, was the dominant figure in the provisional government that held power until overthrown by the Bolsheviks in the October Revolution. According to Semion Lyandres, 'The Fall of Tsarism', along with Lev Stepanovich Tugan-Baranovskii and G. N. Tumanov, Captain G. A. Iakubovich 'belonged to the troika of Kerenskii's most trusted military aides during his tenure in the Provisional Government'. 4pp., foolscap 8vo. First page headed: 'Council of Peasants' Delegates. | 24th. May 1917. | Speech of the Under Minister for War. | (Colonel Iakubovitch)'. Clearly an official British document, and apparently unpublished. Carbon typescript on four leaves, held together by a brass stud. Aged and creased, with last leaf detached from rest. With two hurried manuscript notes in blue pencil, difficult to decipher: the first at head of first page, 'Circulate 18/51 V'; the second at foot of last page: 'Return to Lt Reeves'. Divided into six sections, under headings: 'To refuse to advance is to wreck the revolution', 'Technique, foodstuffs and fodder', 'Disorder on the rail\ways', 'Ranks of the army filled', 'Entrenched soldiers and entrenched officers' and 'The ranks of the army require filling up'. The first section begins: 'I have come here to explain what the Provisional Government understands by the word "advance". The Government has stated that it renounces all forms of annexation and contribution. But at the same time NOT TO ADVANCE IS TO WRECK THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION AND INJURE THE FREEDOM OF THE WHOLE WORLD. | Our enemies place a very low value on the strength of the Russian army and are convinced that the army has dissolved and is no longer capable of advancing. | At the War Ministry we have accurate information of the enemy's recent withrawals from our front. THEY HAVE WITHDRAWN NOT ONLY MEN BUT GUNS. And to what does all this lead. Once and for all you must realize that IF THE ALLIES ARE CRUSHED BY GERMANY THE LATTER WILL NOT FORGET TO SETTLE WITH US. How can we assist our Allies? Only by advancing.' The report includes references to: 'disgraceful incidents' on the railway ('Soldiers have thrown station-masters and railway servants out of the windows of moving trains'; 'Desertion' ('a symptom apparent to all. I cannot now give you the exact figures, but they run into several million'; 'soldiers who have dug themselves in at the rear'; 'soldiers who called up in 1914', who 'have not once been in the trenches'. It concludes: 'You see, comrades, what is now happening in the army. I will not attempt to prescribe a cure for this incredible complaint. Your wisdom will tell us what must be done, and the Minister for War awaits the voice of the representatives of the free land the voice of the peasantry. (Storm of applause)'.…

None. Condizione: None. Oblong Octavo album (ca. 18,4x24,3 cm). 16 card stock leaves. With 34 mounted original gelatin silver photographs from ca. 12,1x16,9 cm (4 ¾ x 6 ½ in) to ca. 8,2x11 cm (3 ¼ x 4 ½ in). All photos with Russian captions on the mounts. Period full-cloth album with gilt-lettered generic title "Album" and blind-tooled ornaments on the front board; owner's period round paper label on the front endpaper; with a protective cardboard case. Binding slightly worn, photographs age-toned, but overall a very good album with strong, interesting photos. Historically significant collection of original gelatin silver photographs taken by a Russian couple in Batumi and its surroundings during the revolutionary turmoil of 1905. During the First Russian Revolution, Batumi, a popular resort for Russian tourists, became a center of peasant and worker unrest. From late January through the year, the city witnessed frequent strikes, resulting in dozens of deaths. Despite imperial attempts to exploit ethnic divisions within Batumi's diverse population, residents largely remained united, organizing regular mass protests that paralyzed factories and disrupted daily life. The compiler, captured in several photographs, is seen wearing a Russian military uniform, suggesting that he may have been stationed in Batumi as part of efforts to maintain order during the unrest. According to the captions, the travelers arrived in the city in January 1905 and stayed at least until October. Less than a month later, Batumi experienced one of its deadliest clashes, when Cossacks raided the "Turkish Bazaar" (documented in our album), killing at least eleven locals. The collection features thirty-four vibrant views of mostly Georgia, with ca. twenty-five excellent photographs showing Imperial Batumi. Ten well-executed photos portray the old Batumi port with decked ships, the riverfront, the roadstead, and the commercial harbor with an approaching vessel and people on board. Especially interesting are three candid urban scenes from Batumi's "Turkish Bazaar." The images show a lively gathering of butchers, uniformed Russian officers, street vendors in white aprons (mostly Muslims), and shoemakers polishing clients' shoes, selling fruit, and posing in front of a photo studio (with a clearly visible Russian sign "Fotographii"). Another vernacular scene depicts local workers in rugged clothes, smoking and smiling for the camera. The rest of the photos from Batumi and its environs show the compiler (or his companion) in the garden of Baratov & Cape Verde, as well as the views of the Botanical Garden, Buknari beach, and the sea. The collection also contains about nine photographs showing the compiler(s) in the Pyatigorsk Botanical Garden, Surami fortress, and other ethnographic scenes. Overall, historically significant collection of lively vernacular photos of mostly Batumi taken by a Russian couple in 1905.…
