- Administrative/biographical history:
- Established by order (12 May 1906) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Kiev Temporary Committee on Press Affairs answered to that ministry’s Main Administration for Press Affairs. The committee’s functions included supervising periodicals published in Kiev as well as in the territory of the Kiev, Podolia, Volhynia, Poltava, and Chernigov provinces. The committee included a censor for Jewish publications (among those occupying this post was Kiev Theological Academy professor A. A. Glagolev). Operation of the Kiev Temporary Committee on Press Affairs was based on the censorship charter and the temporary rules on the periodical and non-periodical press promulgated in 1905-06, which abolished the practices of preliminary censorship and administrative punishment, but retained that of judicial prosecution for violations of censorship rules. The Kiev Temporary Committee on Press Affairs was liquidated by decree (27 April 1917) of the Provisional Government, along with the Main Administration for Press Affairs and all its local entities.
