Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russian Historical Museum at Moscow After the Stone Age had existed for a period of long and unknown duration, a higher culture made its appearance with the first discovery of the use of metal in the form of Bronze; this was possibly about 1500 years before the Christian Era. No frescoes have yet been painted for this room, which represents the early Bronze Age, but the cases contain fine collections of specimens unearthed in various districts; they comprise magnificent bronze axes, daggers, and spear-heads, portions of horse trappings and harness, bells, fish-hooks, and chains, besides many articles for personal adornment, such as fibulæ, hairpins, earrings, and spiral bracelets; there are also some very pretty necklaces and pendant ornaments of various coloured stones. Many of these articles are from the tombs at the little mountain village of Koban, near Vladicaveas, in the Caucasus. Another "find" from Kasbec, in the same district, contains some very remarkable objects. Most noticeable among these are the bronze stags' and mules' heads, ornamenting portions of harness; also a silver bowl of Phoenician origin. A splendid collection of pottery of the Bronze Age, chiefly from Yaroslaf on the Volga, is here exhibited. The most interesting objects in this room, however, are three beautifully-executed models in coloured plaster of the burial-places of the period, copied from tumuli found in different districts in Russia. In the first of these - an example from Koban - the skeleton of a human being is seen, lying on its side, within a stone kist, which is formed of slabs set on end, with a large flat stone resting on the top, like a cromlech (Plate D, 1); this kist was afterwards covered with a heap of earth, forming a tumulus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Petersburg The Author, Mr. G. Dobson, who was for many years correspondent of the T imes in St. Petersburg, aims at giving as complete an account of the Russian capital as could possibly be contained within the comparatively small compass of the present volume. The following chapters accord ingly include the history of the origin of St. Petersburg, an explanation of the political ideas and objects connected with it, a critical descrip tion of the city as it appears to-day and as it impressed other writers in earlier years, and sketches of the life and types of its inhabitants. Some little attention has also been given to a somewhat neglected part of the story of its origin, that is to say, to the state of affairs in this region long before the time of Peter the Great, which rendered the creation of such a settled basis on the Neva a vital necessity for Russia's progress on European lines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fyodor Dostoyevsky: A Study Russia was preparing to celebrate the centenary of the birth of Fyodor Dostoyevsky on October 30, 1921. Our writers and poets hoped to do honour in prose and verse to the great Russian novelist; the Slav peoples had arranged to send deputations to Petrograd, to pay their homage in Czech, Serbian and Bulgarian to the great Slavophil, who was ever faithful to the idea of our future Slav confederation. The Dostoyevsky family, in its turn, proposed to mark the occasion by publishing the documents preserved in the Historical Museum of Moscow. My mother was to have given the world her memories of her illustrious husband, and I was to have written a new biography of my father, and to have recorded my childish impressions of him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russia, Vol. 2 of 2 The spring had already arrived: the great break ing up of the Neva had taken place, and only a few tardy masses of ice were floating down the /cur rent, to be lost in the gulf, which was already open to navigation. The roofs had lost their ermine covering, and the snow in the streets had turned into black mire and hopeless slush. The ravages of winter, hidden for so long under a white cover ing, showed in all their ugliness. The pavements were disjointed, the streets broken, and our droskies, pitching from one quagmire to another, jolted us so terribly that we jumped about like peas on a drum, for the bad condition of the streets did not at all prevent the drivers from tearing along as if the devil were after them. If only the two little wheels follow them, they are quite content, and do not in the least trouble themselves about the trav eler.
