Need Help Searching Russian Archives

I would like to see if census records for the Russian empire from 1897 contains my family in Stary Gromadzyn (near Kolno).

I was also hoping to search Russian newspapers from 1880-1920 to see if there is any mention of them.

I don’t speak Russian unfortunately - I can sound out Cyrillic, but that’s it. I do use Google translate and auto-translations, but I can’t figure out how to locate and search these types of sources.

Basically I’ve exhausted all options in English and Polish. I need something - anything - with my GGF’s name (or even his parents) that isn’t a vital record. Hoping that since Russia was in charge of their area that perhaps they might have recorded something. Unfortunately he wasn’t on their 1915 draft list - I paid $400 to find that out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Surname in Cyrillic is форфа. Thank you! 🙏
