Excerpt from Russian Revolution AspectsThe aim of this book is not to give a history or interpretation of the Revolution in Russia, but to record in narrative form the more striking events seen by a newspaper correspondent long familiar with the country, people and language. Many books purport ing to give a rationale or interpretation of these events have already appeared, and these are good or bad according as the writers were equipped with a qualify ing knowledge of Russian conditions. As far as I know, I was the only foreigner who witnessed some of the occurrences, and visited some of the places here described, and the amount of material collected directly and therefore not to be omitted was so great that for the causes, the inner course and the future prospects of the Revolution there has been little space.Further, the time has not yet come for treating the Revolution in historical perspective and analyzing its finer elements. Russia is to-day in a state of flux, probably indeed still early in the prolonged process that will in future be called her Revolution, and no final judgment upon the events so far accomplished can be passed until the lines of ultimate progress are more clearly revealed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
