Abstract

The article examines «Russkaya Pravda» («Russian Truth») journal publications issued in Chernovtsi in 1910–1913. This periodical advocated the idea that the East Slavic population of the Habsburg monarchy (Bukovina, Galicia, Ugric Rus) belonged to the common all-Russian national-cultural community. The main issue covered in «Russkaya Pravda» publications was that of the nature of the Ukrainian national movement somewhat supported by the authorities. The periodical analyzed the main mechanisms of all-Russian movement suppression in Austria-Hungary (namely, the ban on Russophile institutions, manipulations during the 1910 population census, numerous violations and abuses during the parliamentary campaign of 1911, persecution of the Orthodox Church). «Russkaya Pravda» journal is a valuable information source on the history of the East Slavic population of the Habsburg monarchy on the verge of the First World War.
