A propos de cet article

In Russian. 2 pages. 66 x 52 cm. Pages are yellow and brittle. Minor chipping with very minor loss of text. Two pages of the liberal Petrograd daily День (Den, "The Day"), dated Thursday, December 17, 1915 (Old Style). Orientation: Liberal, reformist, sympathetic to the Constitutional Democratic (Kadet) viewpoint. The paper appeared during the second full winter of World War I, when Russia was reeling from defeats on the Eastern Front and facing food shortages, political disillusionment, and unrest in the Duma. Contents: Political Situation and Government Crisis. The lead article, "The Budget of the Ministry of Internal Affairs", criticizes the government’s wartime administration and police system. The writer condemns bureaucratic waste, corruption, and arbitrary censorship. Special attention is paid to the police’s repression of civic groups under pretext of national security. The tone is liberal, calling for "public oversight and legality" in governance. Criticism is directed at bureaucratic incompetence. A parallel editorial, "Life and Politics", argues that the Duma's moderate parties must remain united to pressure the Tsar's government into creating a "responsible ministry" - an early parliamentary cabinet. It laments that the autocracy has lost credibility with the public. 2. Foreign and War Reports. Sections titled "From the Western Front" and "On the Italian Front" describe: The positional stalemate of late 1915; Ongoing Austro-German offensives against Serbia; Russian efforts to stabilize lines near Baranovichi and the Dvina; Allied cooperation in the Balkans. Tone is factual, non-propagandistic, showing the paper’s reputation for seriousness. An unsigned military correspondent calls for better coordination between the Russian and British commands, warning that morale at home depends on visible unity. 3. Domestic Affairs and Society. A long column on urban provisioning details shortages of flour, sugar, and fuel in Petrograd. Municipal committees are praised for fairness, while black-market profiteers are denounced. Another piece, "City Dumas", explains how local self-government tries to protect the poor from inflation. The issue notes new sanitary and charity initiatives organized by private associations - including several Jewish philanthropic committees (e.g.,"отворительное общество"), which are said to cooperate with municipal relief efforts for wounded soldiers and refugees. This is the only reference to Jews, and it is respectful and civic-minded. 4. Literature and Commentary. The literary pages contain: The continuation of a sentimental story titled "Mother and Daughter", describing a woman's endurance during wartime separation; A reflective column "On the German Spirit", examining the philosophy of obedience in German culture and contrasting it with Russian moral individualism; The review column "The Press", summarizing positions of other newspapers - Novoe Vremya, Rech, Russkie Vedomosti - emphasizing the growing consensus for government reform. Stylistically, Den’ uses careful, educated Russian; religious vocabulary is minimal, and there are no nationalist or racial appeals. 5. Culture and Advertising. Advertisements along the left column include notices for: The art journal Letopis' Khudozhestvennoi Zhizni ("Chronicle of Artistic Life"); A literary anthology edited by Maxim Gorky; Subscription offers for 1916 editions of Letopis' and Russkoe Slovo. Commercial ads promote sewing machines, insurance, and phonographs - a window into middle-class consumer life during wartime. 6. Tone and Outlook. The overall mood is sober but reformist. Politically, the paper pleads for constitutionalism and civic discipline. Morally, it appeals to readers’ sense of duty, compassion, and rational progress. Religiously and ethnically, it is inclusive - no anti-Jewish, anti-Polish, or xenophobic elements appear.…
