The journal's editorial board included K. I. Dikson and N. N. Gerardov, and its pages featured works by notable writers and satirists of the Silver Age, including Sasha Chyorny, Fyodor Sologub, Skitalets, Andrei Chapygin, and D. Tsenzor. The fate of this issue exemplifies the harsh repression of the free press during this turbulent period: immediately after its release, the entire print run was confiscated by court order, criminal proceedings were initiated, and the publication was permanently shut down. The official pretext was the publication of a story titled \"Mints. Prints. Drints\", deemed seditious by the authorities. Editor K. I. Dikson was imprisoned as a result. As a primary source documenting the clash between burgeoning public satire and autocratic censorship, this large-format journal, surviving against all odds, represents a bibliographic rarity and a poignant historical artifact of revolutionary-era Russia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963026276394,"sku":"EB-306649705593","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_e7487a7a-275e-458f-b263-6dc7cc907a19.jpg?v=1768159928","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/confiscated-ed-%d0%bc%d0%be%d0%bb%d0%be%d1%82-%d1%81%d0%b0%d1%82%d0%b8%d1%80%d0%b8%d1%87%d0%b5%d1%81%d0%ba%d0%b8%d0%b9-%d0%b6%d1%83%d1%80%d0%bd%d0%b0%d0%bb-2-1906-molot-the-hammer-revolution","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
