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.

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.

Excerpt from Russia Today During my stay of eighteen months I came into close contact with all kinds Of men, leaders and others. I saw what was going on. I saw what the Bolsheviks were doing and what they were trying to do in Russia. I spent two weeks in the western provinces. I lived with the Red army and Slept in peasants' houses, and I talked a great deal with the common people Then I went to Moscow. When I reached there, I immediately began to act as a correspondent for the Associated Press and continued to do so for eight months. During that time I met many people of prominence. I also traveled through the heart Of the present famine district. Then I went back to Moscow, and in October of last year I was arrested and put in prison where I stayed for ten months - f or eight months in one of the most severe prisons in all Russia. I got myself into it and I have never blamed the Soviet government for what happened to me. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

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.
