metadata.value: The article analyzes the significance of PR campaigns in the course of the political struggle on the
  eve of the February Revolution. Here we describe one example of a PR campaign against the Military
  Minister V. A. Sukhomlinov. The authors demonstrate the role of A. I. Guchkov and M. M. Andronikov as
  their initiators. The propagandistic texts which discredit V. A. Sukhomlinov are introduced into scientific
  discourse and analyzed for the first time. The definition of ‘public relations’ and ‘propaganda’ is made. The authors explain the thesis of historian B. N. Mironov about using PR technologies in the Russian Empire’s
  political struggles at the beginning of the 20th century. A. V. Evdokimov and F. A. Seleznev suppose
  that the counter-elite of the Russian Empire used not propaganda in its struggle for power, which leads to
  monologue, but PR technologies, which suppose a dialogue with society through the mass media on the
  eve and during World War I. The authors analyze PR campaigns against Gen. Sukhomlinov as an element
  of the broader information warfare waged by the counter-elite of the Russian empire against the monarch
  and a section of the loyal elite finally resulting in the February Revolution. The role of the leader of the
  Octobrists, A. I. Guchkov, and the newspaper ‘Vechernee Vremya’ in the organization of the PR campaign
  for discrediting Col. Myasoedov in 1912 is also demonstrated. Also the role of Prince M. M. Andronikov
  in the creation and distribution of information to discredit the Military Minister V. A. Sukhomlinov is
  also proven by the authors. The identities of the assistants of Andronikov, which helped him to draw up
  the anonymous letter about Sukhomlinov and other senior statesmen are uncovered. The authors prove
  that A. I. Guchkov and M. M. Andronikov cooperated in the struggle against V. A. Sukhomlinov. The PR
  campaign of 1912 had partial success. S. N. Myasoedov was dismissed but V. A. Sukhomlinov saved his
  public post. The PR campaign of 1915 was successful because Gen. Sukhomlinov was dismissed. PR
  technologies on the eve of February Revolution became more and more effective weapons of political
  struggle. During the process of writing the article 35 bibliographical titles were used. Refs 39.
