Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russian Peasant The Author begs humbly to lay this short sketch of the Russian Peasant before the public. It by no means pretends to be a deep, comprehensive, critical study of the Peasant and the Peasant question; that is reserved for a future work. It is indeed but the frame of the picture of the life-history of the teeming millions of those who form the real back-bone of Russia.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russian Peasant and the Revolution Of all the elements that make up the Russian masses, the peasant is by far the most important. Actually and potentially the peasant is the mightiest force in Russian life and, therefore, in the Russian Revolution, and bids fair to become the supreme power in the future of the nation. He constitutes the vast bulk of the population, about eighty per cent of the total. The soldier and the proletariat, though propelled in their revolutionary crusade by motives largely grown out of their particular social environ.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russian Life: In Town and Country Russian life, the only phase of the national existence that the ordinary visitor ever sees, whether on business or pleasure bent, is the outgrt of the reforms instituted by Peter the Great, and copied from much that we are familiar with in Western Europe. The modern development of Russia has, it is true, grown with wonderful rapidity of late years, but it is almost entirely confined to the towns and the regions easily accessible by the railway. New railways are constantly being laid down, but Russia covers so vast an area that a glance at the map will sufi'ice to show how large a pro portion of the country must remain for many years outside their influence. Less than twelve per cent. Of the nation reside in towns, not eight per cent. Near enough to urban centres to be influenced by town life, while the remaining eighty per cent., people of every rank of life from nobles to peasants, dwell in regions that modern life and thought have as yet hardly touched to any appreciable extent.

Download or read book Old Peter's Russian Tales (Classic Reprint) written by Arthur Ransome and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Peter's Russian Tales The stories in this book are those that Russian peasants tell their children and each other. In Russia hardly anybody is too old for fairy stories, and I have even heard soldiers on their way to the war talking of very wise and very beautiful princesses as they drank their tea by the side of the road. I think there must be more fairy stories told in Russia than anywhere else in the world. In this book are a few of those I like best. I have taken my own way with them more or less, writing them mostly from memory. They, or versions like them, are to be found in the coloured chap-books, in Afanasiev's great collection, or in solemn, serious volumes of folklorists writing for the learned. My book is not for the learned, or indeed for grown-up people at all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This impressive work, set to become the standard history on the subject, offers a definitive survey of peasant society in Russia, from the consolidation of serfdom and tsarist autocracy in the 17th century through to the destruction of the peasant's traditional world under Stalin. Over three-quarters of Russian society were peasants in these years, and David Moon explores all aspects of their life xxx; including the rural economy, peasant households, village communities xxx; and their political role, including protest against the landowning elites. In the process he presents a fresh perspective on the history of Russia itself. A big book in every way xxx; and compellingly readable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russian Peasantry, Vol. 1: Their Agrarian Condition, Social Life, and Religion Our peasants have in fact something unusual about them. They have not lived upon the crumbs of intellectual food which have fallen from the tables of their cultured brethren. Their popular morals, their social aims, and their reli gion are all their own, and differ greatly from those prevailing with the upper classes. For the present generation the study of popular life has acquired an exceptional interest and importance, as the manifold influences of the new times have wrought a general downfall of the very basis of rural life. Russian peasants are passing through an actual crisis - economical, social, and religious-and the future of our country depends upon its solution.

This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Folk Tales From the Russian N Russia, as elsewhere in the world, folklore is rapidly scattering before the practical Spirit of modern progress. The traveling peasant bard or story teller, and the devoted nyanya, the beloved nurse of many a generation, are rapidly dying out, and with them the tales and legends, the last echoes of the nation's early joys and sufferings, hopes and fears, are passing away. The student of folk-lore knows that the time has come when haste is needed to catch these van ishing songs of the nation's youth and to pre serve them for the delight of future generations. In sending forth the stories in the present vol ume, all of which are here set down in print for the first time, it is my hope that they may enable American children to share with the children of Russia the pleasure of glancing into the magic world of the old Slavic nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Outline of Russian Literature But in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the existence of this growing barrier was not yet perceptible. The eleventh and twelfth centuries in Russia were an age of Sagas and Byliny, already clearly stamped with the democratic character and ideal that is at the root of all Russian literature, and which offer so sharp a contrast to Greek and Western ideals. In the Russian Sagas, the most popular hero is the peasant's son, who is despised and rejected, but at the critical moment displays superhuman strength and saves his country from the enemy; and in return for his services is allowed to drink his fill for three years in a tavern.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Barbarous Soviet Russia Whatever the state of mind of the peas ants, they are certainly better ofi materially than the -city workers. In all the villages I visited I found the peasants faring much bet ter than were the Commissars in Moscow. They had plentiful supplies of good rye bread on their tables, with butter and eggs and milk, -almost unknown luxuries in the cities. Their cattle looked well fed and well cared for. It was harvest time and the farm ers were gathering in their crops. They told me that the season had been exceptionally bountiful. I learned after my return to America that there had been a great deal of agitation among the upholders of the old Russian or der in this country last summer and early fall over the pogroms which were said to have been carried on by the Bolsheviki. I found nothing but cooperation and sympathy and understanding between the Russians and the Jews. There was no discrimination what soever, as far as I could see. Jews and Rus sians share alike in the councils of the Soviet Government and in the factories and work shops.

Ten million peasants dragged from their ploughs were dying in the trenches. Millions more were perishing of cold and hunger in the cities While the corrupt ministers intrigued with the Germans and the court held bacchanalian revels with the notorious monk, Rasputin. Even the Cadet, Milyukov, was forced to say: History does not know Of another govern ment so stupid, so dishonest, so cowardly, so treacherous. All governments rest Upon the patience Of the poor. It seems everlasting, but there comes an end to it. It came in Russia in March, 1917. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from With the Russian Pilgrims to Jerusalem The journey of the Russian peasants to Jerusalem has never been described before in any language, not even in Russian. Yet it is the most Significant thing in the Russian life of to-day. In the story lies a great national epic. The adventure of which I tell was unique and splendid, a thing of a lifetime. Whatever happens to me on my wanderings over the world in the coming years, I have little doubt that even when I am old and gray I Shall look back to it as the most wonderful thing I ever found on the road, the most extraordinary procession I ever stepped into. It has also been a great discovery. Jerusalem is a place of disillusion for the tourist who would like to feel himself a pilgrim, but here in the peasant world is a new road and indeed a new Jerusalem.

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.

Download or read book Peasant Icons written by Cathy A. Frierson and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1993 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the thirty years after Russian peasants were emancipated in 1861, they became a major focus of Russian intellectual life. This text is the first to examine the revealing images of the peasant created by Russian writers, scholars, journalists, and government officials during that period, as the identity and fate of the Russian peasant became an integral component in the future of Russia envisioned by liberal reformers and conservatives alike. Frierson examines the persisting stereotypes created by Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and other intellectuals seeking to understand village life, from the likable narod, the simple folk, to the exploitative kulak, the village strongman.
