Сarismu — šo visvisādu spaidu perēkli — labi raksturo albumā reproducētā revolucionarā uzsaukuma lapiņa. Vēl tikai jāpiebilst, ka nacionalie spaidi bija it sevišķi smagi Latvijā, kur uz darbaļaužu pleciem gūlās divkāršs jūgs: vācu baronu un сага patvaldības jūgs.

«Cariskā Krievija,» teikts PSKP CK Marksisma-ļeņinisma instituta tezēs «Krievijas pirmās revolucijas piecdesmit gadi», «20. gadsimta sākumā bija visu imperialisma pretrunu mezgla punkts, zeme, kur visvairāk bija nobrieduši buržuaziski demokratiskās, tautas revolucijas priekšnoteikumi, kurai turpmāk vajadzēja pāraugt socialistiskajā revolucijā.

…Atšķirībā no 17.-19. gadsimta buržuaziskajām revolucijām Rietumos Krievijā buržuaziski demokratiskās revolucijas vadošais spēks bija proletariats — pati revolucionarākā šķira mūslaiku sabiedrībā.»

Interesanti atzīmēt, ka albumā reproducētās lapiņas autori un izdevēji — socialdemokrati —īpaši uzsver proletariata vēsturisko masu modinātāja un politiskā vadoņa misiju darbaļaužu cīņā par savu atbrīvošanos. Seit atspoguļota V. I. Ļeņina doma, kas izteikta viņa pirmajā lielajā darbā «Kas tie tādi «tautas draugi» un kā viņi karo pret socialdeniokratiem?» (1894. g.):

«Strādnieku šķirai socialdemokrati arī pievērš visu savu uzmanību un savu darbību. Kad tās apzinīgie pārstāvji apgūs zinātniskā socialisma idejas, ideju par Krievijas strādnieka vēsturisko lomu, kad šīs idejas plaši izplatīsies un strādniekiem radīsies stipras organizacijas, kas pārveidos strādnieku tagadējo izolēto ekonomisko karu par apzinīgu šķiru cīņu, — tad Krievijas STRĀDNIEKS visu demokratisko elementu priekšgalā nogāzīs absolutismu un vedīs KRIEVIJAS PROLETARIATU (līdzās VISU ZEMJU proletariatam) pa taisno atklātās politiskās cīņas ceļu uz UZVAROŠU KOMUNISTISKU REVOLUCIJU.»

Czarism — this hotbed of all manner of oppresion — is well-described by the revolutionary title page reproduced in the album. One only needs to add that the national oppression was especially heavy in Latvia, where a double yoke rested on the shoulders of the working people: the yoke of the German barons and the czarist autocracy.

"Czarist Russia" is described in the theses of the Institute of Marxism-Leninism of the Central Committee of the CPSU "Fifty Years of the First Russian Revolution", "The beginning of the 20th century was the nodal point of all the contradictions of imperialism, the land where the prerequisites for the bourgeois-democratic, people's revolution, which was to grow into the socialist revolution, were most ripe.

"...Unlike during the bourgeois revolutions of the 17.-19th century in Western Russia, the leading force of the bourgeois-democratic revolution was the proletariat - the most revolutionary class in modern society."

It is interesting to note that the authors and publishers of the leaflet reproduced in the album — social democrats — especially emphasize the mission of the proletariat as a historical mass awakener and political leader in the struggle of the working people for their liberation. Since then, V.I. Lenin's opinion, expressed in his first major work "Who are these "friends of the people" and how do they fight against the Social Deniocrats?" has been reflected. (1894):

"The social democrats also focus all their attention and activity on the working class. When its conscientious representatives will learn the ideas of scientific socialism, the idea of ​​the historical role of the Russian worker, when these ideas will spread widely and the workers will have strong organizations that will transform the workers' present isolated economic war into a conscientious class struggle, then the Russian WORKER will overthrow absolutism at the head of all democratic elements and will lead the RUSSIAN PROLETARIAT (along with the proletariat of ALL COUNTRIES) along the straight path of open political struggle to a VICTORIOUS COMMUNIST REVOLUTION."
