Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Face to Face With Russia Young Bill Robertson of Los Angeles, lightly disguised as Second Lieutenant William D. Robertson, had never been in T organ on the Elbe before. Strictly speaking he wasn't supposed to be there now. N e1ther were the three privates and the jeep that made up the rest of his patrol. Somehow or other - perhaps through lack of road signs or per haps through excess of adventuresome curiosity - they had gotten beyond the six-mile limit of their patrol area. Not far, of course. They were only some twenty miles beyond where they should have stopped. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Russia the Struggle for Peace Classic Reprint written by Michael S. Farbman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russia the Struggle for Peace I do not pretend that everything in Russia is good and that the Revolution has to answer for no sins, nor do I intend to hide its failures or to be silent about them. The time has come to speak about Russia, it may be with regret, but certainly without bitterness or passion. It will be for the future historian of the Great Russian Revolution to trace its beginnings. Such an historian will no doubt go back many decades into the past. He will begin its story at least from the date of the liberation of the Serfs in 1861 and will record the causal chain of events from that point. We, as contemporaries of the Revolution, have another task, and are face to face with other and more actual problems. We are too near to the scene; we see the actors too clearly and ascribe to them a far greater r61e than will history. We are active to praise and to condemn. In short, we are at this stage unable to judge the Revolution historically. The main questions of interest, to friends and enemies of the Revolution alike, are these' First, how far was the Revolution the result of the War and how far was the struggle for peace which followed the Revolution inherent in it? In other words, did the peace policy of the revolutionary democracy express the true purpose of Russia at the time; or were the Soviets, with all that they stand for, really alien to the maple and to the Revolution? Secondly, was the disintegration of Russia and the dissolution Of the Russian Army inevitable, or was Russia torn to pieces and made helpless by the verv acts of the leaders of the Revolution?

Download or read book England and Russia Face to Face in Asia written by A. C. Yate and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England and Russia Face to Face in Asia: Travels With the Afghan Boundary Commission It may possibly be expected that I should say something of the frontier as it has been now demarcated from the Hari Rud to the Oxus. I have, however, several reasons for not touching on this theme: firstly, because I wish this book to be a record of my own personal experiences, and not hearsay reports; and secondly, because I understand that an officer now with the Boundary Commission, and who knows as much of the frontier and its worth as any man, intends on his return to give the world the benefit of his opinion about it. This book is intended to be not only a record of the move ments of the Afghan Boundary Commission, but also a description of travels through country that is practically unknown to the civilised world. I allude, of course, to the route taken by Colonel Ridgeway and his party from N ushki to Herat, and to Badkis generally. A solitary journey from Herat to the Black Sea, after leaving the Commission, enabled me to obtain some information on more than one point of interest to England - such as concerning the demarcation of the russo-persian boundary, which I have given as an Appendix. To suppose that the russo-persian frontier, as recently settled, will long remain a fixture, would be mere self-delusion. I cannot find any distinct definition of the frontier drawn from kalat-i-nadiri to Sarakhs, and it is just in that quarter that rumour credits Russia with further aggressive designs. One of the most significant signs of the times is the proposed construction of a chaussee from Ashka bad to Mashhad. That is the highroad of Russian access to Herat, and it is therefore not surprising that Russia should early develop an interest in it.

There on the edge of the East she waited for us, strange, mysterious, inscrutable, compelling -a candle drawing us on from the ends Of the earth like so many fluttering moths.

Download or read book The Story of Russia Classic Reprint written by Robert Van Bergen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Russia Russia in Europe, however, with the exception Of Poland and Finland, is a country with one religion and one language: that is, the czar and his government recog nize and admit no other. That is the cause Of the perse cution Of the Jews, four fifths of whom dwell in the Southwest Of Russia in an area covering square miles, which is sometimes mentioned as the jewish terri tory. Every succeeding czar has tried to make all his subjects think and act in the manner prescribed by him. The process is known as Russianizing. And goes on incessantly in its different stages. Immediately after the conquest of a country, its people are assured that their religion, institutions, and language, shall be respected: the only difference is that the native Officials are displaced by Russians. This continues until Russian rule is firmly established, and no one dreams of resisting the czar. Then the Russian language displaces the native tongue, and if disturbances occur, the military is called in to inflict a terrible punishment. The loss of the native language carries with it that Of old institutions, and when the people have submitted to their fate, it is the turn of their religion. The Russian is in no hurry; he has a conviction that time has no changes in store for his empire, hence he bides his time, and is likely to succeed in his purpose. This process is now carried on in Central Asia where Russian power has found its greatest expansion in modern times. It is but fair to admit that Russian absorption there has been highly beneficial because robber tribes were reduced to law and order.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Village: Russian Impressions In my hotel room in Petrograd, Tarasov was doing his packing. I had already finished mine. It was a stifling afternoon in August, 1917, and we were trying to get off for a trip to a little Village deep in the heart of the country. But I had small hope of catching the train. My companion was a man about forty, huge of limb and nearly bald. His face was flushed and perspiring. A vast disorderly heap of belongings lay all around him on the floor, and he was mauling things about with a kind of desperate patience. To my imprecations he said not a word. I heard him panting softly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Russia Russia is just at present on the eve of the most momentous period of its history. Within the last year we have already witnessed the prologue of the great drama which is about to be played. TO those who are not intimately acquainted with Russia and her people, this prologue must have appeared incoherent and almost impossible to under stand, for the best of reasons, that the actors did not know themselves the meaning of the parts which they were acting. It was a case of irresponsible followers rushing behind incoherent leaders. The truth is that the Russians had suddenly awakened out Of the most ghastly nightmare, and, still dazed and only half awake, the nightmare still vivid in their minds, they had but one thought - to rush madly headlong, in order to escape from its horrors. They rushed about, anywhere, anyhow, not caring where they went so long as they ran. In the same way does a patient, suffering from cardiac distress, rush about the room to try and escape from the agony which he endures.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poetry and Progress in Russia Exist in English, French and German a fair number of books which cover a much wider field of information, but I should be glad to feel that this book would appeal to the timid curiosity of many who would certainly shrink from a long index of Russian names. For such is our natural reluctance to face a linguistic difficulty, that although I have many pleasant memories of a public listening with evident attention and interest to long papers on Russian art or literature, I feel convinced I have never yet succeeded in impress ing upon any member of my audience the correct pronunciation of a Russian name. This is not because my pronunciation is excessively bad, or the name very hard to pronounce, but because the British attitude to Russian names reminds me of those people who assure you they could not swallow an oyster if they tried.

When the "underground" office of his revolutionary newspaper, The Free Word, was discovered and raided by the St. Petersburg police, in June, 1879, he happened, by a fortunate chance, to be absent, and so escaped arrest; but he was forced to go into hiding, and after living a precarious existence, for two weeks or more, in the houses of his friends, changing his sleeping quarters almost every night, he determined to seek safety abroad.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russia Before and After the War Never be permanently suppressed by a state of siege, or a recurrence to the stale devices of despotic coercion. Whatever form the remedy may take, it is necessary in the first place to know the origin and symptoms of the disease. The better Europe comes to know Russia, the better chance there will be of Russia knowing herself. If the enlightened patriotism of Russia is forced to address the nation through the medium of the foreign press, the fact of contributing something to this self knowledge, the condition and essence of all real pro gress, contributes also to the prospect of the peaceful regeneration of a people who, in spite of all the faults and follies of their rulers, deserve a nobler future than that of barbarism, - deserve to be happy and free.
