# Kievlyanin (Kiev), front page, 28 October 1917, with V. Shulgin's editorial and the 'List No. 8' election appeal

Front page three days after the Petrograd Bolshevik seizure of power, from the Kiev paper of the Russian nationalist V. V. Shulgin. The leader, signed Shulgin, calls Lenin's action a 'mutiny' ('myatezh') and Petrograd a 'German nest', and demands subordination of the Ukrainian General Secretariat to the Provisional Government; the page head also carries paid ads for the nationalist bloc's 'List No. 8' Constituent Assembly campaign. Tells: the loaded labels carry the argument; the paper is both reporter and candidate-list advertiser.

List No. 8.
A pre-election meeting, convened by the non-party bloc of Russian voters, will take place on Sunday, 29 October at 1 p.m., in the premises of the Club of Progressive Russian Nationalists (Bolshaya Vasilkovskaya, 14).

[Leader, excerpts:]
[...] cut off the German nest, this Petrograd that has become Wilhelmsburg, from Russia. [...]
Here agreement is impossible, here the subordination of one side to the other is necessary. If this subordination does not happen, nothing lasting will be created. [...]
[...] the General Secretariat, while Lenin raised a mutiny in Petrograd, carried out a partial coup in our region, seizing military power from the Provisional Government [...]
Tertium non datur.
V. Shulgin.
