Pogroms
I found out that a real pogrom took place in Saratov in 1905. I am going to upload a book by one of our revolutionaries where it was described. Anyway, there are some pictures on the Internet regardless of what he wrote.
Note from Andrey: To be honest, I didn't think there had been pogroms here in Saratov because it is far from the Pale of Settlement, there were few Jews here.
Here is a modern Russian article from the "Saratov Encyclopedia" about those events:
GREAT SARATOV ENCYCLOPEDIA: History of Saratov: 1905–1907I read that there were 40000 workers in Saratov in ab. 1910. (The total population was about 2500000 people). No wonder why the Social Revolutionaries were popular here. On the other hand, the Bolsheviks already knew that industrialization would be the future.
Satirical Magazines
I found many satirical magazines on the same site (they were published after the first revolution of 1905, some of them were published in Saratov). I didn't know about such things. As an example, there is a list of satirical magazines of the Russian Empire (in Russian, Polish, Armenian, Yiddish and so on)
