Hi Edgar, Thanks for these very interesting articles. I believe it was the
second russian invasion of Czernowitz...
Ma grandmother remained in Cz. at the first invasion, (do you know when it
was alone, grandpa went to Vienna with the staff of the Bukowiner
Landesbank, her sons were on the Italian front and my mother was in
Maehrisch-Ostrau. But I know from the family stories, that my uncle was
ordered with his corps to Kiev. to fight against the Red Army (The White
Army asked for help at the Austrian Kaiser Karl) Do you know something about
this???
Regard Hedwig

Berti...

Incited by you, I started reading the series of 8 articles, headlined "The
Third Invasion of Czernowitz", released by Czernowitzer Allgemeine Zeitung
(CAZ) between 28.08.1917 and 08.09.1917. What a find, Berti, history at
first hand! CAZ reports on the May Day demonstration in Czernowitz as
follows:

"... As reported by the officers, Governor General Trepow, after receiving
the news of revolution, suffered from a dead faint. The soldiers appeared on
the streets, wearing red cockades, red flags were hoisted first on the
magistracy, then on all public headquarters. The public meetings of the
soldiers began. The May Day events are ranking among the most impressive
demonstrations of the Russian Revolution in Czernowitz. About seventy
thousand men from the Czernowitz garrison and from the adjacent military
front were concentrated on the assault meadows [Sturmwiese] and on public
places in order to celebrate the May Day. Subsequent to the meetings, the
soldiers trekked for hours through Siebenbürgerstraße, Rathausstraße,
Ringplatz, Bahnhofstraße and back to the assault meadows [Sturmwiese].
During the treks flags and banners were in evidence, displaying "Down with
the war!", "Peace to all nations without annexations or contributions!",
"Long live social democracy!", "Long live equality, liberty, fraternity!".
The order kept by the trek without any previously implemented security
measures was impressive. Several bands played La Marseillaise. The
Ukrainians formed a separate unified trek. The Jewish group too, having
flags with Hebrew writing, formed a particular division. About one thousand
Chinese, who were in town, Kalmyk people, Kyrgyz people and other foreign
people joined the trek. The lack of discipline increased day by day and
became evident..."
