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 was in Kursk every summer during  the vacation time and sometimes in the winter too.

 Me  ( Adrian Fedorovich Timofeev) is   on the right.

I tried to do revolutionary work  during  the  vacation time    in my homeland in Kursk.

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.

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

I printed the proclamations 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!

My imprisonment in 1931 in Verhneuralsky political prison of OGPU (KGB) on the case of The Mensheviks Union.

            The public trial in Column Hall of Union House in Moscow  in 1931.

I ( Adrian Fedorovich Timofeev) belonged to the Russian  Party of Socialists-Revolutionaries. It was a major political party in early 20th century in  Russia and a key player in the Russian Revolution. It  won a plurality of the national vote  in Russia's first-ever democratic elections. This election was to the RUSSIAN CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY. This party was defeated and destroyed by the  Bolsheviks.

It was my  second imprisonment.  It was  in  1930-1934.

          

This is my photo after returning  to Moscow from in  Verhneuralsky  political prison  of OGPU (KGB) on the case of The Mensheviks Union. I returned to Moscow in 1934.

The first wooden church at this place appeared in 1753. The church was consecrated in honor of the birth of Jesus Christ (Rozhdestvenskaya). On 30 July of 1914 my bride Miss Anfisa Antonovna Kramskaya and me had Wedding Ceremony in this chirch.

The first wooden church at this place  appeared in 1753. The church was consecrated in honor of the birth of Jesus Christ (Rozhdestvenskaya).

Ten streets in this district  and all area were named Rozhdestvensky  in honor of this  church.

Instead of the disassembled wooden church in 1787 was completed the remarkable stone temple. This temple has become one of the most beautiful in St. Petersburg.

This temple was destroyed in 1934 during the Stalinist period.

Adrian Fedorovich Timofeev participation in the reconstruction in 1922 of the historical Nizhny Novgorod Fair during the NEP (New Economic Policy) Era in Soviet Russia (1921-1928).

Makaryev's  Fair (Makarevskaya Jarmarka) was the Greatest Fair in Russia held annually every July near Makaryev Monastery on the left bank of the Volga River from the mid-16th century to 1816. Following a massive fire in 1816, it was moved to Nizhny Novgorod, but for some decades thereafter it still was commonly referred to as Makariev Fair. It attracted many foreign merchants all over the would.

I  participated in the reconstructionin in  1922  of the Historical Nizhny Novgorod Fair during the NEP (New Economic Policy) Era as a representative of the State Bank of Russia.

 Nizhny Novgorod Fair  was completely destroyed during the revolution and the sivil war in Russia (1917-1922). See the pictures below.

The history of the Petrovka street.

Petrovka street  is one of the main and oldest streets in the center of Moscow.

It starts  about  1/2 mile from Kremlin and Red Square. It received its name for Petrovsky Monastery  founded in the late XIV century. The name Petrovka  was used since the beginning of the XVII century and since then has never changed. This is  rare for the historic streets of downtown of Moscow.

My jail in the Kiev’s Lukyanivska prison after participation in the Congress of the Russian Socialist and Revolutionaries. Mrs. Yulia Tymoshenko is the most famous prisoner in Lukyanivska prison now.

 I was arrested in Kiev on  04   December 1905. I was arrested at the Congress of the Russian Socialist Revolutionaries party.

All Russian Revolutionaries were very encouraged  and feel them more free after the Imperial Manifesto of October 17.

Ilia Perin's picture "Manifesto of October 17".

The  armed insurrection began at this time in Moscow.

There were only three political prisoners at the time of our arrest in the Kiev’s  Lukyanovskaya prison. The prison was overcrowded after our arrests. We organized a boycott of the prison’s Chief Mr. Malitsky for  his abuse of prisoners.

After his appearance in any of the prison cells we began to shout “You are the murderer and  executioner! Get out!”.

We are four brothers, close in age: I'm Adrian, Peter, Sasha (Aleksander) and Pasha - always lived together. Summers (1887-1897) we carried out in the open air in the garden of our house in Kursk at the intersection of Golden and the Moscow streets, full of apples, pears, currants, gooseberries, raspberries, strawberries and all sorts of vegetables.
