Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Eclipse of Russia Witte calmed the fiery passion Of the count and the two Visitors left. A fortnight later there was a dispute among the cabinet ministers on the subject of the suffrage. The Tsar displayed his interest in the matter, and Witte decided to send for Count B. And Prince U. And to give them an opportunity Of laying before the sovereign the views Of the population in that province of Central Russia. But when they arrived he stood aghast to hear Count B. Inveigh in un measured terms against those short-sighted individuals who dared to restrict the suffrage and deprive the Tsar's loyal subjects Of their right to vote for, or against, a candidate. But, expostulated Witte, was it not you who fourteen days ago said the very opposite and threatened to march on the capital at the head of the armed peasants if we enacted what you now demand a Yes, yes, I know all that. But during that fortnight I have been among the peasants and asked them for their views. And what is more, I can tell you that most Russians Of the intelligentsia are Of the same mind. And I am anxious to tell his Majesty how they think and feel on the subject. As I was very well acquainted with Count B. I took him aside and taunted him with his sudden change of front, but he defended himself, urging quite seriously, Most Of my friends are for universal suffrage. So is the general public. Surely that is a good reason for yielding to the consensus of Opinion. Down to the Revolution Count B. Played a prominent but not a helpful part in Russian politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From a Russian Diary, 1917-1920 When the revolution broke out in Russia I was living in a provincial town, which since the war had become of considerable importance. For some time before February 1917 the news papers had been daily scanned with ever-increasing anxiety. Not only did it daily become more evident that there was much treachery and treason, but it seemed that the only one who could have put a stop to this state of affairs lacked either the wisdom or the courage, or both. Each time that the name of a newly appointed minister was read out people looked at each other in amazement, and then came the never-varying exclama tion, What are they aiming at A revolution? Even before the date I speak of thoughtful Russians had foreseen a revolution from below, but they hoped it would be staved off until the close of the war. The revolution which they now spoke of was one which they thought might prove merely a palace revolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Petersburg The Author, Mr. G. Dobson, who was for many years correspondent of the T imes in St. Petersburg, aims at giving as complete an account of the Russian capital as could possibly be contained within the comparatively small compass of the present volume. The following chapters accord ingly include the history of the origin of St. Petersburg, an explanation of the political ideas and objects connected with it, a critical descrip tion of the city as it appears to-day and as it impressed other writers in earlier years, and sketches of the life and types of its inhabitants. Some little attention has also been given to a somewhat neglected part of the story of its origin, that is to say, to the state of affairs in this region long before the time of Peter the Great, which rendered the creation of such a settled basis on the Neva a vital necessity for Russia's progress on European lines.

Download or read book Russia's Message written by William English Walling and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russia's Message: The People Against the Czar Realising the immensity of the task that lay before me, I have confined my attention in the present work largely to the Russian part of Russia, leaving aside entirely all Asiatic Russia, the Caucasus and the Baltic Provinces, Poland, and Finland. The Polish and Finnish situations are of such exceptional importance in relation to the Russian that I spent several wee/es in visiting both countries, but I have not made them a part of my work. One feature of the book needs perhaps a special explanation. The crimes of the Russian Government are so monstrous and so mani fold that I have quite despaired of giving any satisfactory picture of them as a whole. In my first chapters I have dwelt at some length with this subject, but I have devised the economical measure of taking the yews as my central theme, not because I consider that their per secutions are any worse than other peoples' in Russia, nor because they are more important than other nationalities, as for instance the Tartars or the Poles, but because they have themselves been selected by the Government as the centre of the whole persecution system. In other parts of the book I have tried to portray not merely the central feature but the whole situation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Russian Masterpieces More than ninety per cent, of the Russian people never read "short stories." They create them, tell them, listen to them. The popular Russian short story, is the skaska or fairy tale, which belongs to the province of folklore, probably the richest, most varied, wise, and clever of all folklores of Europe, having absorbed all the richest elements of the East and some of the West. But the short story in the sense in which it is understood by Americans, is the product of the journalization of literature, of the daily press, which did not develop in Russia until the seventies of the nineteenth century. The predecessor of the newspaper, the big monthly, created the "serial," the three-volume novel, usually covering the year with its twelve voluminous instalments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Russian Literature: With a Lexicon of Russian Authors That the kingdoms of Europe are daily becoming more exposed to the risk of being subjugated by the barbarism of Russia, is the constant theme of declamation among a numerous and influential party in this country. It will be evident, however, on the slightest reflection, that it is not the barbarism of Russia which is to be dreaded, but her civilisation. Not only year after year is some new province added to the formidable acquisitions of the imperial sceptre, but day after day the internal resources of the people are becoming more and more developed, and the Russian language is rendered richer in its attractions in the same proportion as it is more widely diffused in extent.

Download or read book The Russian workers' republic written by Henry Noel Brailsford and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-05 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russian Workers' Republic This book is the fruit of two months spent in the autumn of 1920 in Soviet Russia. A visit to Russia is no longer a difficult adventure. I obtained a British passport to Esthonia and a Russian permit quite easily. Travelling was uneventful, and less uncomfortable than I had found it in Poland, Austria and Germany the year before. I met invariably with kindness and courtesy, and made many acquaint ances, who represented every phase of opinion. White exiles in London had told me that I should be watched, followed and personally conducted Wherever I went, and that no opponent of the Communists would dare to talk with me or approach me. None of these predictions came true. I went about alone Whenever and wherever I wished. I saw the leaders of the opposition alone in Moscow. In the provinces the local leaders of the opposition sought me out. Even in trains and libraries, strangers would enter into conversation and express them selves quite freely. Let me say at once that while I heard much criticism in Russia, I never heard there the Wild exaggerations in which exiles indulge abroad. So far from receiving too much help from official quarters in my, inquiries, I could sometimes have wished for more. There is much kindness but very little method in the dealings of the Bolsheviks with foreign journalists. I divided my time between Petrograd, Moscow, Minsk and the Western war-front and the central province of Vladimir. Moscow is still incorrigibly Russian, which means that it is unpunctual and unbusinesslike. The distances are great and the communications primitive. The telephone works badly and is little used. The Press re ects only one point of view. One may spend a week in Moscow and learn less than one could gather in two days in Berlin. Everyone, moreover, is overworked, and officials, after the Congress of the Third International, were rather tired, I suspect, of foreigners. In any event, I was anxious to see something of the provinces and of country life. I chose Vladimir for a short visit, and found it so interesting that I remained for two weeks. I learned in these two weeks more about Russia than in the other six. To investigate the life of a small town is a manageable problem. You can walk all over it without fatigue. Also, I could get conveyances to visit the villages, a thing I only once achieved from Moscow. Above all, everyone was interested in the presence of a stranger. Vladimir had seen no foreigner of any sort for six long years, and it was as eager to question me as I was to study it. This mutual inclination led to a stimulating exchange of thought and information. My reasons for choosing Vladimir were partly that it combined industry with agriculture, and partly that it had escaped the ravages of the civil war. I wanted to see the normal development of Soviet institutions after three years of revolution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
