Item description from seller

In Russian. 68 x 46 cm. Pages are yellow and brittle. The leaves have broken up into 8 rectangular segments, where they were folded. 6 pages, large format.Ads: 1st page: numerous theatres - Alexandrinsky, Maly, music-halls and circuses. Advertise New Year performances, manufacturers of machinery, cigarettes, clothing, etc. Text-heavy ads. Inside pages carry political commentary and news. A major column explains changes in the Russian government, including ministerial resignations and appointments and the continuing struggle between the Duma's liberal opposition and the autocracy. The paper reprints official communiqués alongside editorial glosses that stress responsibility, public confidence and the need for effective leadership at the front and in the rear. In the "Russian Life" section, domestic stories range from legal and administrative disputes to reports on governors, zemstvo affairs, church matters and the functioning of courts and municipalities. Urban topics such as provisioning, bread supply and the rising cost of living appear repeatedly in notes that hint at deepening wartime strain. A large central section titled "War" assembles dispatches from the Supreme Headquarters and various fronts. On the Western and Southwest fronts Russian troops conduct local offensives, artillery duels and reconnaissance; communiqués emphasize repulsed enemy attacks and the capture of prisoners. Sub-sections summarize events on the Romanian, Macedonian and Italian fronts and at sea. German and Austro-Hungarian actions are described via enemy communiqués, including bombardments, air raids and submarine warfare. Brief items mention the Balkans, Greece and diplomatic maneuvers such as ultimatums and negotiations, underscoring the multi-front character of the conflict. The "News of the Day," gathers short telegraphed notes: parliamentary debates in Allied countries, cabinet crises, speeches by foreign ministers and presidents, and the internal situation in neutral and enemy states. These snippets place Russia’s position within the wider coalition war effort and global diplomacy. Economic news: balance sheets of commercial banks, stock quotations and notices from industrial and trading companies, including the electrical concern "Dynamo." Official announcements from zemstvo boards, municipal authorities and ministries invite applicants to posts in local administrations etc. "Theatre and Music" and "Chronicle" sections review or preview concerts, operas and plays, name performers and conductors, and announce charity evenings. A calendar of events in Petrograd lists day-by-day programs in major theatres and cinemas. A "Women's Journal" advertisement previews its 1917 program, promising fiction, advice and fashion. Professional advertising in back pages: "Medical Directory" of physicians and dentists with addresses and hours, and numerous notices of clinics, sanatoria and medical product suppliers. Legal announcements, obituaries and a few personal notices. Front page: ad for a concert: Vecher intimnoi pesni Izya Kremer = "An evening of intimate songs by Izya Kremer." Izya (Israel),the famous Jewish tenor who popularized Yiddish and Russian songs at a Petrograd hall. Jewish doctors in the Vrachebny ukazatel - "Medical Directory". Several clearly identifiable Jewish surnames appear: Dr L. Ya. Yakovzon, Likely Jewish surname; entry lists his specialty, street address and reception hours. Dr Z. L. Landau - Jewish-German surname. Dr Efim Bendit The ad notes his practice and consultation times. Dr Markusson; Dr L. A. Kravchik; Dr Mandel’shtam. Each entry follows a standard formula: "Dr X.Y. Surname, physician / specialty, hours, address, tel. dentists and dental surgeons include probable Jewish names. A few commercial ads likely involve Jewish proprietors: big ad for copying equipment and office machines signed "D. Gestetner" refers to the Gestetner duplicating firm, founded by David Gestetner, a Hungarian Jew.
