Excerpt from Russia Under the BolsheviksNow what is the Bolshevist regime in Russia Is it tyranny, or, on the contrary, the establishment of a heaven on earth, and the embodiment in actual life of the ideals of liberty as understood by Sir Thomas More, Cabet and William Morris?In England there are ready-made standards for defining what is tyranny and what is liberty. I will remind the reader what these standards are, and then present a series of facts showing Russian reality. Then we will apply your English standards, acknowledged by everyone, as they are several cen tuties old, and then anybody will be able to answer the question himself as to whether contemporary Russian reality is heaven or hell on earth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
