NEWSPAPER ARTICLES

Internet Archive has posted issues of Kievlyanin for 1911 through 1913. I will be translating articles on the murder and trial and posting them here.

March 21, 1911: Discovery of the corpse


This is a horse-operated pugger; the shaft in the "cup" mixes clay and water
to the right consistency for brick-making.  This is probably what the children
used to play on at the Zaitsev factory; descriptions suggest they gave each other
a boost up the "cup" and then jumped onto the top bar, where they stood as the horse
circled the "cup" moving the mixer.  From: http://www.shol.com/agita/thespiel.htm
