Context. Odessa's 1905 mayors were P. Zelenyi (1898–1905), P. Kryzhanovskyi (1905) and V. Protopopov, per a scholarly article on the city's mayors during the 1905 revolutionary events, but that article's abstract does not mention red flags.[1]

Context. Other sources on the June and October 1905 events (official messenger report, wire-style historical summaries) describe the unrest and martial law but do not address the mayor flying a flag over municipal departments.[3][6]
