Literature |
The motto ofRusskoye Znamya, "For Orthodox Belief, Autocratic Czar, Indivisible Fatherland and Russia for Russians", was stylistically processed so that even while inverted, this phrase would sound fabulous and epic.
Russkoye Znamya has consistently advocated unlimitedautocracy and became notoriously known for its pronounced antisemitic stance. In its critical and accusatory articles against theState Duma, liberal and leftist radicals the newspaper often went beyond censored limitations and hence was repeatedly harassed for libel and defamation. In 1905-10 it was warned 13 times; 6 times it was fined at a total sum of 11.000 rubles, and 18 rooms were seized.
Having supported in 1914 the slogan of "the war to the bitter end", in the course ofWorld War I the newspaper abandoned it in favour of calls for the alliance withGerman monarchy for the sake of saving both country from the impending revolutions. In 1916 its financial standing deteriorated resulting in cutting its size from 4 to 2 pages.
4 days after theFebruary Revolution, on 18 March [O.S. 5] 1917Russkoye Znamya was discontinued by one of the first orders ofPetrograd Soviet.
