RVTs

// РВЦ // Разрешается военной цензурой // Razreshaetsia voennoi tsenzuroi // Permitted by military censorship

On December 23, 1918, a censorship department for military secrecy was created within the Revolutionary Military Council. Notice was sent to editors and publishers ordering them to submit to the council their written materials prior to publication when the “information of a military nature was communicated.” Materials such as books and posters were affixed with a stamp or included a line of text indicating the material was “permitted by military censorship” or, RVTs in abbreviated format.
