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 Annenkov house in the center of Moscow.

This  building was built in 1776 for the Governor-General of Siberia Prince Jacobi. 
Decembrist  Ivan Annenkov  spent his childhood and adolescence   in this house. This building became very profitable in 19th century  because of  the  hotels, restaurants, and cafes placed in it.

These places was  liked to visit by  the famous Moscow writers, poets, musicians and artists  in the late 19th century and early 20th century.

Here was  the famous cafe Tramble (Tremble) which  liked to visit  Ivan Alekseevich Bunin  the outstanding Russian writer and  Nobel Prize winner  for literature in 1933, revolutionary poet Vladimir Mayakovsky and many other  poets, musicians and artists.

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.

The interrogation in the court after 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.
