Russkoye Znamya (Russian: Русское знамя; Russian Banner) was a newspaper, organ of the Union of the Russian People established in St. Petersburg by Alexander Dubrovin on 11 December [O.S. 28 November] 1905, notoriously known for its antisemitic bias.
Discontinued on 18 March [O.S. 5] 1917 by the order of Petrograd Soviet.
From the first issue in November 1905 until the end of the year Russkoye Znamya was released weekly. Became daily from January 1906. Its first editor was I. S. Durnovo. From March 1906 editor's duties were assumed by P. B. Bulatsel’.
Russkoye Znamya was regularly sponsored by the Moscow merchantess . It was also subsidized by the Russian government.
The URP chairman Alexander Dubrovin often published articles in this newspaper. Other active authors were: D. I. Bulatovich, G. V. Butmi, L. Ye. Katansky, N. E. Markov, N. A. Pavlov, V. M. Purishkevich, Alexander Trishatny.
Among other contributors M. N. Zelensky, A. V. Ososov, Ye. D. Khomenkov, S. S. Potapochkin, F. D. Klyuev, V. A. Bogdanov, N. I. Yeremchenko and M. P. Petrov are named.
Up to 1909 the editorial office was located at 4th Rota (now 4th Krasnoarmeyskaya Street), 6. In 1910 it moved to Shpalernaya Street, 26.
The motto of Russkoye Znamya, "For Orthodox Belief, Autocratic Czar, Indivisible Fatherland and Russia for Russians", was stylistically processed so that an inversion (permutation of nouns and adjectives) provided this phrase to sound fabulously and epically.
Russkoye Znamya has consistently advocated unlimited and became notoriously known for its pronounced antisemitic stance. In its critical and accusatory articles against the State Duma, liberal and leftist radicals the newspaper often went beyond censored limitations and hence was repeatedly harassed for libel and defamation. In 1905-10 it was warned 13 times; 6 times it was fined at a total sum of 11.000 rubles, and 18 rooms were seized.
