Download or read book Young Folks History of Russia Classic Reprint written by Nathan Haskell Dole and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Young Folks' History of Russia It has been well said by a recent author that the aim of all the great reforms made in Russia since Peter the Great has been to undo what he did or tried to do. That struggle is still going on, and with Such throes that it sometimes seems as though the building itself must fall in ruins. The history of modern Russia is the history of a transition, and must needs be unfinished until the transition is complete. The death of an emperor or the execution of an assassin is not the end of an epoch. 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.

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.

Download or read book Russia s Ruin written by E. H. Wilcox and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

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.

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?

Download or read book Russian Wars with Turkey Classic Reprint written by Major Frank S. Russell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russian Wars With Turkey Man of the South.' The Eastern question will still be unanswered, and there will still be a dormant volcano which one day will convulse Europe. Ever since the year 1453, when the Turks conquered Constantinople, it may be said that they have been in almost a chronic state of dissension or war with their Christian neighbours. Up to 1683, when Mahomet the Fourth besieged Vienna, the tide of their conquest was advancing; since then it has been slowly but certainly receding. On three successive occasions their naval power has been destroyed by the combined fleets of other nations, and twice has England participated in this de struction. In 1571, at Lepanto, the fleets of Spain, Genoa, Malta, Venice, and Pius V., combined to destroy their navy; again in 1770 they were defeated by the fleet of Russia aided by Englishmen, in the passage of Scio; once more, fifty-seven years later, in 1827, at N avarino the Turkish navy was annihilated by the united fleets of England, Russia, and France. The Turks have not un frequently been called our ancient allies; it will be found on referring to history that they might with greater truth be called 'our ancient enemies, ' as up to 1840 we were nearly always allied against them.

Download or read book The Legal Sufferings of the Jews in Russia written by Lucien Wolf and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Legal Sufferings of the Jews in Russia: A Survey of Their Present Situation, and a Summary of Laws This book ought to command the attention of all Englishmen. It sets forth the gross and patent injustice endured by Russian Jews under the government of the Tsar. This systematic ill-usage of the Tsar's Jewish subjects now - in Iolz - finds no parallel in any other great Christian State of the modern world; such, for example, as England, France, Italy, Germany, or the American Commonwealth. The wrong wrought upon the Jews under the law and still more under the administrative system of Russia, is all but incredible to Englishmen. Hosts of Russians, as we know, are highly civilised and highly humane men they are men of eminent talents, who would be the glory of any country in the world. More than one Russian writer, moreover, exerts wherever literature is read an immense and deserved influence. It is therefore difficult for us to believe that a State distinguished by such illustrious citizens is the home, as regards at any rate Russian Jews, of cruel despotism. But In plain truth, the Russian Empire is not a wholly civilised country. Russian law and Russian officials apply to the treatment of Jews methods of barbarism or of medizevalism, and these methods originate, partly, at any rate, in the fact that many of the inhabitants of the Russian Empire, though, as it is reported, and can well be believed, good-natured and kindly in the main to their neighbours, still look upon the Jews much in the light in which the Jews were regarded during the Middle Ages not only by the pe0p1e but also by the statesmen of Europe. What may be the precise aim of Russian policy in regard to Russian Jews it is unnecessary for us to determine: the effect of this policy is absolutely certain. Russian statesmanship forces Russian Jews to make a choice between exile on the one hand and on the other hand either ruin or (what is still more terrible) the permanent degradation of every Jew who inhabits the Russian Empire. This statement, based on a careful study of this treatise, expresses my deliberate conviction. My aim is to justify this conviction by calling attention to three dominant results, the certainty of which is established by the Legal Sufferings of the Jews in Russia.

Download or read book With the Die Hards in Siberia Classic Reprint written by Colonel John Ward and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from With the Die-Hards in Siberia Originally written for the private use of my sons in case I did not return, this narrative of events. Connected with the expedition to Siberia must of necessity lack many of the necessary ele ments which go to make a history. I wrote of things as they occurred, and recorded the reasons and motives which prompted the participants. Many things have happened since which seem to show that we were not always right in our esti mate of the forces at work around us. Things are not always what they seem, and this is probably more evident in the domain of Russian affairs than in any other. It would be comparatively easy to alter the text, and square it with the results, but that would destroy the main value of the story. The Statesman and the Soldier rarely write his tory. It is their misfortune to make it. It is quite easy to be a prophet when you know the result. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Jews in Russia Classic Reprint written by E. B. Lanin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Jews in Russia The Hebrew people in Russia are characterised by an insatiable thirst for such education as can be had in that country; it would seem to partake of the nature of a passion that grows with their growth, gaining strength from the very opposition it encounters.2 The Government, on the other hand, is firmly resolved to starve it out and to thrust the Jews back to ignorance, blind obedience, and the Pale. And this is perfectly natural; if it seems immoral, it is only to those English Russophiles with whom fanaticism is the sole substitute for knowledge, and who damage the cause they would further by judging such acts by a European standard of morality a mistake which no Russian statesman will ever commit. The reasons that make a dispassionate observer look upon the present persecution of five or six million Jews as natural are not far to seek: they are all comprised in the one principle of self-preservation applied by a people which is standing on a much lower moral and intellectual level than the bulk of Europeans.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six Years Travels in Russia, Vol. 1 of 2 These were unusually hilarious sounds, which, issuing from the breakfast-table, greeted us in our distant cabin on awakening to that joyous morn ing, the fourth since we had left Stettin, and the last we were likely to pass on board the Vladimir. A heavy sea and high winds - the usual avant courrz'ers of approaching winter in these latitudes - had beset our gallant vessel ever since she quitted the lagoon at the mouth of the Oder, terminating in a violent tussle in the Gulf of Finland, from which she was likely to have suf feted severely but for a sudden change in the wind that enabled her to escape with comparatively small damage, such as the loss of some of her gear, a few bruises, breakages, tattered gibs, and the almost suspended animation of every female heart on board. But, happily, the fears and sorrows of the past night were merged in other feelings, in the unexpected - and to most of us unprecedented scene which awaited our awakening in the morning.

Download or read book The Old Order in Europe and the New Order in Russia Classic Reprint written by M. Philips Price and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Order in Europe and the New Order in Russia It now remains to be seen how the Soviet Government dealt with the third great problem of the revolution - the land. Measures for stopping the war were taken the next day after the October revolution. Shortly after that the skilled urban workers and the half-proletariat began to work their way up through workers' control of industry to the creation of a great state apparatus for the public control of production and distribution. Now came the turn of the peasant. The decree on the land which was issued on October 28th, handed over the great estates of the landlords, the former Imperial family, the cabinet ministers and the Church, to provincial land committees. The latter now came back to the rights which the Kerensky Government in the later days of its exist ence had robbed them of. It was necessary to act speedily. The peasants of Central Russia, exasperated at the delays in dealing with the land problem and knowing that intrigues were being carried on in Petrograd to prevent the land, from getting out of the hands of the landlords and the big banks, to which much of the land had been mortgaged, had begun to take the law into their own hands. In several provinces the landlords' mansions were burned, the owners forced to flee, and the agrarian disorders threatened to ruin much agricul tural stock of public value. The decree on land, issued by the Bolshevik Council of the People's Commissaries, instantly quieted the peasants. They knew that the land would indeed be theirs if the land committees, which they controlled, had the handling of it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russia and the Great War The success obtained with the British public by my work on Modern Russia, of which the second edition followed the first in the space of ten months, has inspired me with courage once more to address my readers in a book devoted to my country. The subject of this new book is Russia and the Great War. But in writing it I wished not merely to write a book for the moment ex elusively, of value only for today, and of no interest to-morrow. It is net the external and dramatic aspect of the great war waged by Russia and her Allies that interests me the most. On the contrary, my readers will find in my pages neither descriptions of battles nor tragic or picturesque narratives of the incidents of battle. My aim has been something quite different from this. I wish to inform my English readers con cerning the principal phenomena of Russian life before the War, and to explain the relations be tween these phenomena and the war itself.
