"Krasnyy smekh" (The Red Laugh): Weekly Satirical Journal. No. 3.
St. Petersburg: Tipo-lit. V. F. Veshke, 1906. — Editor-publisher Ya. A. Gibyansky.
8 pp. In publisher's illustrated cover, large format (32.5 × 24 cm). 

This 1906 issue of "Krasnyy smekh" (The Red Laugh) is a remarkable survivor of the "Satirical Gale"—the explosion of political caricature and radical press that followed the Russian Revolution of 1905. Named after Leonid Andreyev’s harrowing anti-war novella, the journal was part of a wave of short-lived, biting publications that tested the limits of the new, yet fragile, freedom of the press in Imperial Russia.
Edited and published by Ya. A. Gibyansky, the journal focused its vitriol on the government's reaction, the bureaucracy, and the "Black Hundreds." Its pages are filled with sharp political allegories and daring caricatures that reflected the disillusionment and tension of the post-revolutionary period. Like many of its contemporaries, "Krasnyy smekh" was hounded by the censors; it managed to produce only four issues before being suppressed or forced to close due to financial strain and administrative pressure.
Surviving copies of such ephemeral journals are exceptionally rare, as they were often confiscated by the police or simply worn away by the cheap newsprint paper used for production. This issue stands as a poignant historical document of the fierce, visual, and literary struggle for civil liberties in early 20th-century Saint-Petersburg.
