 Sankt-Peterburgskie Vedomosti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Following along the lines of the 17th-century handwritten Kuranty, Peter's newspaper contained little other than reports of military victories and diplomatic relations, either composed by the tsar himself or translated from Dutch newspapers according to his choice.
Korsh repeatedly clashed with censors over his liberal views until 1875, when he was dismissed from the editorial staff and the paper was taken over by the Imperial Ministry of Education.
After that, the newspaper's circulation and influence declined and it took the Octobrist editorial stance.

 An Increasing Discrepancy
The Octobrists are always whimpering in their press, railing at the revolution, railing at the government, the Rights and the Council of State, but in the Duma they confine themselves to a desire for reforms and follow the government.
But this Octobrist game (which would have been impossible had the Cadets and Octobrists not been members of one and the same little family) does not eliminate the indisputable fact that there are differences of shade between the Left and the Right Cadets, between the Lloyd Georges and the Asquiths of our liberalism.
It is not an accident that the Octobrists, Progressists and Cadets haggled and struck a bargain on a common formula; it is a result of their ideological and political solidarity in the main.

 At the sound of the third trumpet
Her father adored her, she was the light of his life and he did all in his power to give her a happy childhood.
The apartment blocks were new and clean and intersperced with fir trees and rose gardens and her father had a better job than his previous one in Kiev and earned more money than he had ever earned.
She was looking forward to being able to ride the ferris wheel at the new fair ground that was being built just behind the cinema, she imagined that when she got to the top she would be able to see the whole world, it was so high.

 Lenin: The Third Duma   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The Black Hundreds are a dependable ally of the Octobrists, just as the court camarilla is an ally of the Ministry in defending tsarism.
The interests of capitalism, grossly predatory and parasitic as it is, cannot be reconciled with the undivided sway of feudal landownership.
Thus, the objective course of events compels the Octobrists to seek allies in this respect.

 AngliaCampus : The bulk of the army remained loyal.
The Liberal intelligentsia had been startled by the severity of the working class opposition and particularly that of the more militant workers from the Vyborg suburb of St. Petersburg.
This was one of the things that had caused the formation of the Octobrist Party; they feared an extension of power to the unruly mob.
Lenin was still in exile in Siberia and in any case saw the events as being of little significance.

 Question of Ministry of Education Policy
It would be as well for our chauvinists, Rights, nationalists and Octobrists to think about these figures, if they have not set themselves the "statesmanlike" aim of forgetting how to think, and of teaching the same to the people.
Forty-three years ago, in 1870, when America had only just begun to build her free way of life after purging the country of the diehards of slavery -- forty three years ago there were in America 6,871,522 people attending school, i.e., more than in Russia in 1904 and almost as many as in 1908.
This fact was taken from the speech of the Octobrist Klyuzhev, who fears (as a God-fearing and police-fearing man) even to ponder the significance of this fact.

 Results of the Elections
Our liberals like to pretend that the Octobrists' defeat was due to the "manipulation of the elections", which took away support from this "party of the latest government orders", and so on.
The characteristic thing is that genuine class parties are in course of formation and that, in particular, the party of counter-revolutionary liberalism is becoming consolidated under cover of noisy oppositional exclamations and honeyed talk about "reconciliation of the government and the country".
The Octobrist leader Rodzyanko, who, as we know, is regarded as a Right Octobrist, considers himself a constitutionalist, as does Krupensky, the leader of the "Centre faction", or conservative constitutionalists.

 First World War.com - Who's Who - Mikhail Rodzianko
Rodzianko was regarded as a moderate Octobrist deputy - a factor which served to alienate him to both the Tsar, Nicholas II, and (moreover) to the Tsarina, Alexandra.
The outbreak of revolution in 1917 - which Rodzianko tried to stave off by repeatedly advising the Tsar to implement sweeping changes to his Cabinet - and the Tsar's consequent abdication (which Rodzianko belatedly recognised as essential) ironically brought with it an end to Rodzianko's own career.
His moderate stance bore little credibility with the incoming Bolshevik government.

 Lenin: The Problem of Resettlement   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
According to the latest data, 46 per cent of the villages in the four Transcaucasian gubernias had no state land at all or very little, and in Kutais Gubernia the number of unprovided households was approximately 33 per cent of the total.
Since the condition of the Caucasian peasants as regards land-hunger differs but little from that of the peasants in Russia, where, one may ask, does the reserve of land for resettlement in the Caucasus come from, and why are people sent there as settlers, instead of resettlement of the local peasants being carried out?
The land for resettlement is obtained as a result of flag rant violation of the land rights of the native inhabitants, and the settlement of peasants from Russia is carried on for the glory of the old nationalist principle of “Russification of the outlying regions”.

At a tender age of eight Soviet children were enrolled into their first Communist organization – the Octobrists (or Children of October).
They got to wear cute star-shaped badges with a baby Lenin in the middle and take an Octobrist pledge, promising to work and study hard, obey elders, and help the weak (old ladies crossing roads, that sort of thing).
My mother was in college when I was born, and had very little time for me. When she studied for exams and wanted me to keep quiet, she would give me a 96-page notebook and a pen, and I would put a little mark on every page – a tick or a squiggle.

 HEATHER WORLEY: Vol 2:A photo gallery
I suppose this could just be little old ladies being little old ladies (because grandmothers can't get away with almost anything in any culture).
One of the little old ladies said, "A small pension." And somehow the service degenerated into a discussion about the evils of capitalism.
It was a rather uncomfortable moment for me and Allison, and also for the girl talking, who felt that everyone had sort of missed the point of what she was saying.

I took a little turn (on foot), and, of course, we were soaked by an unexpected downpour.

 Concerning "Vekhi"
Vekhi furiously attacks the intelligentsia precisely because this "little underground sect came out into the broad light of day, gained a multitude of disciples and for a time became ideologically influential and even actually powerful" (176).
The Octobrists have always said this and acted openly in accordance with it.
If the peasants elect Trudoviks and the workers elect Social-Democrats, this of course is just such devils' work, for by their true nature the people, as Katkov and Pobedonostsev discovered long ago, entertain "hatred for the intelligentsia" (87; read: for democracy).

 Draznilkas   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
In Soviet collections, as well as in some in post-Soviet ones, offending words are excluded along with the texts in which they occur.
Some scholars disparaged the draznilka as being little more than a vehicle for obscenities.(11) Others were made uncomfortable by the evidence of aggression and references to the negative aspects of everyday life.
Vinogradov sought an explanation for this in the fact that the draznilka, as a rule, is directed against an individual, not against an enemy group or an abstract system.(46) The Soviet draznilka contains little detail that reflects the society in which the children were raised.

And when we left, he lay down on the floor and pressed his ear to the hard, cold, stone floor and--whether you believe it or not, O, Chief Bourgeois--he smiled in such a way that we, the bourgeois, shivered and became frightened that perhaps he hears our inescapable destruction moving along the secret pathways."
It's the Red Army galloping!" excitedly shouted out the Octobrist Karasikov, unable to restrain himself.
And he waved his hand with an imaginary sabre so fiercely that even the girl who just recently--hopping on one leg--had fearlessly teased him as "Krasik-rugasik", looked at him warily and, just to be safe, moved away a little further.

Load the cannons, ready your sabres, unfurl our bourgeois banners, because I hear our buglars sounding the alarm and our signallers waving their flags.
Hearing these unexpected words, the Octobrist Karasinkov's face suddenly became sad and dismayed, and he no longer waved his arm.
The blue-eyed girl frowned, and the freckled face of Ioskin became angry as if he had just been deceived or insulted.
