Title: (Novyi Satirikon / New Satiricon) • Special issue: Spetsial’nyi nomer "Istoricheskii" - "Special 'Historical' number" • Issue: No. 6 • Date on cover: March 1918 (15 March 1918 in the digitized state copy) • Editor: A. T. Averchenko • Publisher: Izdatel’stvo «Novyi Satirikon» - "New Satirikon Publishing House • "Petrograd, Nevsky Prospect [=Avenue] 88 • Printer: Tipografiia T-va "Gramotnost’", 5 Rozhdestvenskaia, 44. • Pagination: 16 pages including color covers. The whole number is built around a wry "people's history" of Russia and Europe, written at the very end of the First World War and a few months before Novyi Satirikon was shut by the Bolsheviks. Cover by A. Radakov: Caption above the image: - "The window on Europe - now"). Peter the Great stands in front of a big boarded-up window in the wall of a ship or fortress. In the speech balloon he says: Well, now I see that the window to Europe has been nailed tightly shut!"). The cartoon comments bitterly on Russia's self-isolation after revolution and Brest-Litovsk. On page 2, Radakov’s poem Eto bylo! - "So it was!" combines verse with small vignettes that jump through key episodes of Russian history, from legendary princes to the recent war, showing how supposedly glorious "turning points” led to present collapse. Arkadij Búhov's feuilleton Istoriia. . . - "The History of Oleg’s Shield") retells the tale of Prince Oleg hanging his shield on the gates of Constantinople, but in a tone that mocks heroic myths and hints that modern politicians still trade in empty symbols. Valentin Goryánskiy's long poem Opyt . . . - "An Experiment in Historical Perspective") surveys czars, generals and revolutions, constantly undercutting them with ironic rhymes and up-to-date references. The implied question is whether any of these rulers ever changed the basic fate of "little people". Short aphorisms under the rubric Melochi - "Small Things", signed "Mr. Poker", provide epigrammatic comments on history, power and cowardice. A large two-page color cartoon by K. Grus titled Krug. . . "The circle of history is complete") shows three victorious soldiers of different nations (Austrian, German and Ottoman / Asian) manhandling a barefoot, rag-clothed figure representing defeated Russia. The suggestion is that historic abuses are returning in a new guise. Another full-page color plate by Re-mi bears the caption Zaklyuchitel’nyi. . . - "The final chord"). A fat demagogue waves a flayed animal skin (or metaphorical "trophy") towards a crowd of grasping hands. Beneath, the legend Vsem! Vsem! Vsem! - "For all! For all! For all!" mocks populist promises. The four-panel strip - "Historical quotations - by the way", again by K. Grus, links famous patriotic lines to grim scenes of 1917-18: Gorit'. . . - "The East burns with a new dawn": a tiny bearded man flees a blazing landscape watched by a brutal soldier. 1. Tikhav. . . - "The Ukrainian night is quiet": a violent struggle in the dark evokes civil war in Ukraine. 2. Otsel . . . – "From here we shall threaten the Swede": a ragged man with a rifle stands among ruins. 3. Kto tsar. . . - Who will lift the Tsar Bell, who will turn the Tsar Cannon?": the huge, fallen emblems of imperial power lie useless. Prose and verse pieces by Isidor Gurevich "The War of the Red and White Rose"), Bor. Mirsky, L. Arkadskii, Teffi and others jump between English, Scandinavian and Russian history, drawing satirical parallels to contemporary factions, provisional governments and Bolshevik rule. The issue is a bitterly humorous meditation on how "great histories" end in social chaos and hunger, written by liberal satirists who see themselves squeezed between reaction and radicalism. No Jewish reference. Contributors include Jews (e.g. Isidor Gurevich.).
