Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russia's Ruin This book is based on articles published in the Fortnightly Review. It does not profess to give a complete and connected story of the Russian Revolution. Its object is rather to describe in detail some of the chief factors which caused the Revolution and determined its course. For the benefit of those without a previous knowledge of Russian history, the chapter "Prelude" sketches the general economic and social conditions which made far-reaching political changes in Russia necessary and inevitable. The chapters "The Success of the Revolution" and "The Failure of the Revolution" may be regarded, each for its own section of the book, as broad outlines, of which the subsequent chapters fill in certain of the details. The facts set forth here are nearly all derived from documentary sources - most of those in the first section from evidence sworn in courts of law. It is no longer necessary to illustrate the abuses of the Tsarist Government by unverifiable anecdote. The trials of Souhomlinoff and Manasevitch-Manouiloff have shown down to the minutest detail how bad that Government was, and why it was so bad. These two men were typical figures for their respective ranks of the bureaucracy. Their careers tell us more convincingly than volumes of vague generalization how well justified were the attacks on the Old Regime. After The "The Korniloff Affair" was published in its original form, Mr. Kerenski challenged some of its statements. Except where there were good grounds for rejecting his criticisms, the narrative was modified in conformity with them. Mr. Kerenski's Prelude to Bolshevism was published after the main text of this book was already in type. It is, however, dealt with in an appendix. The approximate pronunciation of the principal Russian names occurring in these pages is indicated in a list at the end of the index. It may be worth while to remind the reader that the normal value of the rouble is about two shillings. Consequently sums in roubles may be roughly converted into pounds sterling by the simple process of dropping the last digit of the amount. Thus 100 roubles becomes £10, 1,000 roubles £100, and so on.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Young Folks' History of Russia In a book for young people a long list of authorities may be spared; it is sufficient to state that the facts have been drawn from the best sources, - Russian, German, French, and English. In the first part Russian names have been done away with English equivalents take their places. A table follows for convenience. In all cases difficult words are avoided so far as possible, and it is hoped that this Young Folks' History of Russia is at least readable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dawn in Russia: Or Scenes in the Russian Revolution I have not attempted in this book to do more than describe some of the scenes which I witnessed in Russia during the winter of I905 - Igo6, while I was acting there as special correspondent for the Daily Cbrouicle. For the most part, the descriptions are given in the same words which I wrote down at the time, either for my own memory or for the news paper. But the whole has been re-arranged and rewritten, while certain scenes have been added for which a daily paper has no room. I have also inserted between the scenes a bare outline of the principal events that were happening elsewhere, so that the Significance of what I saw may be more easily understood, and the dates become something better than mere numbers.

It is the only idea, it supplies the only solidarity, left in Russia. But it is a secondary fact. The dominant fact for the Western reader, the threatening and disconcerting fact, is that a social and economic system very like our own and intimately connected with our own has crashed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six Weeks in Russia in 1919 On reading my manuscript through, I find it quite surprisingly dull. The one thing that I should have liked to transmit through it seems somehow to have slipped away. I should have liked to explain what was the appeal of the revolution to men like Colonel Robins and myself, both of us men far removed in origin and upbringing from the revolutionary and socialist movements in our own countries. Of course no one who was able, as we were able, to watch the men of the revolution at close quarters could believe for a moment that they were the mere paid agents of the very power which more than all others represented the stronghold they had set out to destroy. We had the knowledge Of the injustice being done to these men to urge us in their defence. But there was more in it than that. There was the feeling, from which we could never escape, of the creative effort of the revolution. There was the thing that distinguishes the creative from other artists, the living, vivifying expression of something hitherto hidden in the consciousness of humanity. If this book were to be an accurate record of my own impressions, all the drudgery, gossip, quarrels, arguments, events and experiences it contains would have to be set against a background of that extraordinary vitality which obstinately persists in Moscow even in these dark days of discomfort, disillusion, pestilence, starvation and unwanted war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Out of the Ruins France has borne the brunt of the war. Over of her best men have been killed - nearly half of the total lost by all of the Allies exclusive of Russia. From being a creditor nation to the extent of thirty billion francs, she has become a debtor nation for a like amount. Her best industrial and agri cultural districts have been held by the enemy. Her foreign loans have yielded nothing; her best internal revenue has been cut off; her fac tories and mines have almost all worked for the war; she has exported little; the foreign ex change has been constantly rising against her. Over half of all the destruction in the allied countries is in France alone and much the most difficult half at that.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the War Against Russia What do the public really care whether Lord J. Russell is the pitiable thing the Duke of Newcastle and his own speech seem to prove him to be? It may be a serious ques tion to those who, Whig-bound by the fostered prejudices of years, think there can be no progress in liberality and freedom, unless this one lord is to lead, or at least to hold the power to destroy those who won't move at his command. Does the country, using its own sober discretion, see its only safety in the rule of some one of half-a-dozen lords, who have been tried again and again, until the history of modern times is a mere kaleidoscope, show ing the shaking of these aristocratic fragments into different patterns, each the wonder of one day, the contempt of the next?
