| Comments |
Komuch — the Committee of Members of the Constituent Assembly — controlled Samara for roughly four months in the summer of 1918, having seized the city in June with the help of the Czech Legion. This note was issued during that brief window of anti-Bolshevik socialist governance, a government that genuinely believed it was the legitimate continuation of the February Revolution's parliamentary experiment. The printing was done locally under chaotic wartime conditions, and the results show it.
By September 1918, the Red Army retook Samara. Komuch dissolved shortly after, absorbed into the Ufa Directory and then swept aside entirely by Kolchak's November coup. Notes from this issue had a circulation life measured in weeks.
