[Subscriptions accepted around the clock] Agitation poster of the daily newspaper of the Okrug Committee of the VKP(b), the Executive Committee, and the Trade Union Council of Irkutsk "Vlast Truda" (Power of Labor). Irkutsk, 1928. Paper, typographic printing. 70.8×53.2 cm. Longitudinal and transverse folds, tears at fold points. "Vlast Truda" (later — "Vostochno-Sibirskaya Pravda") is one of the oldest socio-political and business newspapers in Siberia. The decision to establish it was made on December 7, 1917 (old style) at a meeting of the Okrug Bureau of Soviets of Eastern Siberia. The name of the newspaper, in the spirit of the new era, was conceived by political figure Martemyan Ryutin (1890-1937). It was planned that the first issue would be published the next day, December 8, but the Civil War delayed its release by several weeks. Ultimately, the first issue of the newspaper was published on January 12, 1918. The newspaper became the largest publication of Soviet Siberia in those years. Its huge format, six pages, numerous departments and sections, rich chronicles, telegrams, advertising, and an abundance of correspondence made it notable. The newspaper was renowned for the breadth of its topics and diversity of genres. Additionally, the newspaper had 4 supplements in the form of subsidiary publications. All of this attracted a mass of readers and allowed its circulation to be maintained at a level of 20 to 25 thousand copies. When Czech troops approached the settlement of Cheremkhovo, the newspaper addressed its readers: "Temporarily, until general conditions change, the newspaper 'Vlast Truda' is suspended starting with this issue." The last, 124th issue of the newspaper was signed for printing on July 9, 1918. In 1920, the publication of the newspaper was resumed. The editorial board of "Vlast Truda" is associated with a galaxy of names: humorous writer Jaroslav Hašek (1883-1923), one of the organizers of Soviet intelligence Alexei Lutsky (1883-1920), member of Tsentrosibir Sergey Lazo (1894-1920). The newspaper regularly collaborated with writer Pyotr Petrov (1892-1941), Irkutsk poet and journalist Joseph Utkin (1903-1944), and writer Pavel Nilin (1908-1981). A journalism circle was created at the editorial office, which later transformed into the Irkutsk Literary and Artistic Association. "Vlast Truda" was one of the cheapest newspapers in Russia: the cost of a single copy was higher than the subscription price, with the deficit primarily covered by the profitability of the printing house.
