Traces the origins of satire and (as a result) censorship from the time of Katherine the Great, as well as how it shaped consciousness. Briefly details the strikes, protests and massacres that made up 1905. Contains excerpts and images from the journals that operated (380 registered with the censor 1905-6 though more operated). 
I was worried it was purely depressing and macabre but understanding that this was a radical way of documenting the horrors of class rule, and spread opposition to it, made it really cool and inspiring.
