The illegal print shop in Kursk. I base the party of the Socialist Revolutionaries in Kursk in 1903.

Revolutionary and information activities of political parties in Russia have increased significantly in 1900-1907.

I was a student of Mathematics Department of  St. Petersburg Imperial University in this period.  I was a student of   Kiev’s  Imperial University of St. Vladimir in 1898-1900 too.

Visiting  of the University was not necessary for students.  We have established the timetable of visiting our classes  ourselves. The students  could not visit there university  over the years.  I had not practical classes on my Department  of  Mathematics in St. Petersburg.

I went to Kursk every summer, during  the  vacation time, and later in the winter too. I'm doing revolutionary work at the same time in St. Petersburg and  in my homeland in Kursk.

 Znamensky Cathedral in Kursk, Russia.  (1910).

There was not  large-scale industry  in Kursk in that period and  there were only certain groups of workers.  Our work was  primarily for revolutionizing  of the peasant masses.

I found  a hectograph and started  the  printing of  the proclamations.

I putted up printed  proclamations throughout the city on the houses and fences myself.

Moscow street in Kursk. Our family  house  was on this street (1910).

I  sent out some of the I printed proclamations  to the factories and villages. 

I printed the proclamation without changing my  handwriting. I ordered a special big round seal  for greater credibility. It was  engraved on this seal:

 “"Everybody can  find  there rights In the struggle . The Kursk Regional  Committee of the Party of Socialist-Revolutionaries”.

Although the entire committee and the entire party in Kursk consisted of a single person, myself!
