The Russian Revolution: A Turning Point in History

The Russian Revolution of 1917 marked the end of Tsarist rule and the birth of a new era in Russia. The monarchy was overthrown, and a provisional government led by Alexander Kerensky took its place. However, this transitional period was plagued with social unrest, economic instability, and political power struggles that eventually paved the way for the rise of the Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin.

This volume was published in 1919.

From the book's Preface:

Encouraged by the kindly reception given to my first book,
Revolutionary Days, I venture herein, with the kind permission
of the Saturday Evening Post, which first published them, to
present to the public some further tales of the varied and
amazing currents of our Russian developments.

The facts are offered as I observed them, or learned of them
at first hand, and I have tried to be truthful and unprejudiced.
Otherwise these pages claim no merit, but only the indulgence
of a public which has shown me such sympathy and under-
standing, and to whom I owe sincere gratitude.

A few excerpts:

When I first saw Bouromka village I was filled with pity, in spite
of the charming scenery and its picturesque traditions. Even
in the fields, in 1899, the people seemed entirely helpless to
dominate Nature, or to draw her riches from her. They were
armed with the most primitive wooden ploughs, and with other
instruments which looked biblical in epoch, and which were
really not fit tools for use in the greatest agricultural district
of the world.
...............................................................................
It was Easter Eve, 1916. All the village of Bouromka was
assembled in the church or in the latter's garden on the hilltop.
The people listened to the chanted service, then bowed in
prayer low to the ground, following their ancient rites with a
respect and devotion which war had renewed and strengthened.
The three great doorways were left wide open, as were all the
windows, admitting the fragrance of damp earth, fresh leaves,
and spring blossoms, to rival that of the incense.
..............................................................................
The first time we heard of Bolshevism by name was at the begin-
ning of May or to be exact, April 20, old style 1917, when an
uprising of this ultraradical group in Petrograd threatened to
overthrow the first provisional government and to establish
anarchy in the Russian capital.
..............................................................................
The germ of Bolshevism, like much else which has hurt the world
of late, came straight from Germany to us; and by the following
facts this seems absolutely proved. When in July Lenine's
headquarters were raided, German gold was found there in
large sums; also during various uprisings of anarchistic tendency
German gold was found both in the hands and pockets of those
who were creating these disorders.
...............................................................................
For thousands of square miles Russia is in a condition of complete
devastation, with enforced stagnation of work, famine, and
misery, just as is the small area of northern France. A crushed
exhausted, starving, bleeding people at home is straining its
last remnant of strength to rise up and to live. Kolchak is pulling his compatriots to their feet, and they try to stand, dazed and
tottering...Will the world listen to their cry, and will it hold out
a helping hand? Or will it turn its head and pass by on the other
side?
