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 Russian Revolution: The First Year To understand Russia today one must know a little of Russian history and character. The Romanoff line numbers sovereigns of real genius - Peter the Great, who brought ideas of western civilisation and an imperial future to his people Catherine, who in cynical ambition and ruthlessness rivalled Frederick the Great of Prussia; Alexander the First, 'who alone of the monarchs opposing Napoleon showed real genius, imagination, and idealism. Russian Czars have by a stroke of their autocratic pen liberated the serfs, summoned the nations to Hague Conventions, and abolished vodka drinking. The genius shown by Russian monarchs is reflected in varied forms in the Russian people, which has embraced such contemporary giants as Kropotkin, Metchnikoff, and Tolstoy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Russia N ovosiltz, Vorotin, Odoiev, and others and their example was followed by two of Vsevolod's stock, the Prince of Tchernigov and the Prince of Novgorod Sieverski (respectively a son of Ivan Andreivitch of Mozhaisk and a grandson of Shemiaka).1 Now, when the said Ivan Andreivitch and Shemiaka had been worsted in their struggles with Vassilii the Dark, they had, in each case, fled to Lithuania, where they had acquired extensive possessions on the Desna, the Seim, the Sosh, and the Dnieper, as well as the cities of Tchernigov and Novgorod Sieverski. That is to say, they had never been anything but the bitterest of foes to Vassilii. Yet no sooner was the call sounded for a stand to be made for Orthodoxy than, forgetting their hereditary enmity, the son Of the one and the grandson of the other became subject-allies of Vassilii's son himself l - clear evidence that, in proportion as the Muscovite union of princes broadened, it became a union constituting a military hegemony Of' Moscow over all the other allied princes of Rus. Such were the new phenomena prominent in Moscow's absorption of Rus from the middle of the fifteenth century onwards. First the local communities began openly to turn to Moscow, either of their own accord, or at at? Instance of their respective governments; which caused the Muscovite unification of the country to acquire a different character and a faster rate of progress. That is to say, it ceased to be a matter of seizure or of private negotiation, and became ia'nalz'oual, a religious movement. The briefest possible enumeration of Moscow's territorial acquisitions during the times of Ivan III. And his son Vassilii will suffice to show us how greatly the political con solidation of Rus by Moscow then became accelerated. The middle of the fifteenth century was no sooner passed than principalities and free commonwealths vied with one another in transferring themselves and their provinces to Muscovite allegiance. In 1463 the Princes of Yaroslavl, . Both Suzerain and appanage, swore fealty to Ivan ititand, accepting Muscovite service, resigned their independence. Next, in the seventies oft - hé same century, there took place the conquest Of Novgorod the Great, as also of its extensive territories in Northern Rus. Next, in 1472 the Prmdpaiw Perm (where Russian colonisation 1' had begun as early as the fourteenth century, in the time of St. Stephen of Perm) made final submission to the Muscovite ruler. Next, in 14741 the Princes of. Rostov sold the remaining half of their territory to 1 See vol. I. P. 310.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Russia, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Earliest Times to 1877 Tms Translation of M. Alfred Rambaud's Historic de la Rus sie (paris, 1878) contains a number of emendations by the Au thor. M. Rambaud has also written many additional pages: on Russian ethnography; on the Esthonian Epic; on the early rela tions of England and Russia; and on the Emperor Paul's project of attacking England in India. The Translator has to express a grateful sense of M. Rambaud's constant and courteous aid. In whatever is hasty or inaccurate in these volumes, he has no share. The Translator has compiled Genealogical Tables, of which M. Rambaud has approved. The French book has no index, and an attempt has been made to supply this deficiency. The Translator regrets that, by a too close following of the French spelling of the ancient tribal names, new varieties have been introduced, where variety was already too plentiful and confusing. There seem, for example, to be about thirteen ways of spelling Patzinak. A list of some of these names as here printed, and of the forms used by Dr. Latham (russian and Turk, London, is subjoined.
