Yakov Sasubrin, who was also a writer and who dealt critically with the events of the first Russian revolution, was expelled from Penza to Syzran in 1907 with his family under strict police surveillance. During his student days, Vladimir Yakovlevich Sasubrin was the organizer of the illegal student magazine "Echoes" at the end of 1912.

After the events in Petrograd and the October Revolution , Sasubrin went back to Syzran, but was brought back by the Red Army because of the uprising of the Czechs, where he joined the partisans.
