Item description from seller

In Russian. 6 pages. Complete. 68 x 46 cm. Rech (Речь) No. 197 (3939). Petrograd, Wednesday, 23 August (5 September) 1917. This issue of Rech, the central newspaper of the Constitutional Democratic Party (Kadets), covers Russia at a moment of extreme political instability, following the July Days and during the unfolding Kornilov Affair. Themes: defense of the Provisional Government, danger of military adventurism, fragile state of society, army, the economy. P.1: Commentary on the crisis between General Lavr Kornilov and Alexander Kerensky. Editorials question reliability of military command, the danger of reactionary conspiracies, need to protect constitutional order. Several pieces re: urgency of unity among democratic forces, warning that the military’s political intrusion jeopardizes the Revolution. “News of the Day” outlines government statements, telegrams from various ministers, analysis of troop movements around Petrograd. Ads: courses, lectures, legal notices, schools (including girls' gymnasiums), medical offices, and community announcements. P. 2: WAR section: reports from the fronts, logistical problems, desertion, breakdown in transport, Allied situation. Reports re German operations near Riga, difficulties of maintaining discipline, political agitation in regiments. Focus on the moral collapse of certain parts of the army and the pressure placed on officers, alongside discussions of new government circulars and disciplinary measures. P. 3: "Latest News": internal political developments, dispatches, civil-administrative actions, labor disputes, strikes in factories, meetings of soldiers’ committees, transportation failures, agricultural shortages, accelerating inflation. Commentary on events in: Siberia, the Volga, the Caucasus, and Ukraine. P. 4: political essays: the State Duma’s role, society’s responsibility, the elections to local municipal dumas, the church’s position in the emerging state system, debates about the future constitution of Russia. Column re separation of Church and State and the restructuring of ecclesiastical administration, another: food distribution and price regulation. P. 5: Financial/Stock Exchange Chronicle, provincial correspondence, cultural notes, theater announcements, notices re crimes, accidents, and personal reports. Many reference shortages, petty disputes, and political arrests. P. 6: primarily advertisements and educational announcements: Pokrovsky Courses, stenography schools, women's gymnasiums, private institutes, medical specialists, lawyers, room rentals, real-estate notices, and accounting courses. This page was a revenue-producing supplement. Contains almost no political text. The issue presents a country in acute crisis: army disintegrating, Provisional Government weakened, threat from the right (Kornilov), supply chains collapsing. No explicit article relating to Jews. Some ads reference schools or courses open to “all confessions”. This implicitly includes Jews. Jews could legally attend many private courses after March 1917. Such ads indicate the growing integration of Jews into mainstream urban education after the fall of the Pale. Economic notices relevant to Jews: “Биржевая хроника” includes trading and commodity notes (grain, sugar, tea, foreign exchange). Because Jewish merchants made up a significant portion of grain brokers in 1917 Petrograd, these items indirectly concern Jewish economic participation, though Jews are not mentioned. There are references to: The debate over separation of Church and State “the country and the church”). This debate directly affected Jewish civil equality. Municipal elections: After the February Revolution, Jews could vote and run in Petrograd elections for the first time; thus, these sections have major relevance to Jews even though the text does not explicitly state “Jewish voters.”.
