Excerpt from Russia, White or Red WO motives led me to Russia in the fall of 1917: T the desire to study at first hand the most im portant theatre of our time before the pressure of revolution should bear too harshly upon it; and the impulse to be in the most uncertain and interest ing and eventful place in the world, The results of the former motive I shall record at length in another volume, The Russian Theatre under the Revolu tion. The outcome of the latter impulse I have presented in the following pages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Red Heart of Russia Out there in the silver twilight of the white night she lay, a forest of flaming church steeples and giant factory chimneys, rising vaguely from the marshes. I pressed my face closer to the dust-crusted Windowpane and searched the flying landscape. There on the edge of the East she waited for us, strange, mysterious, inscrutable, compelling -a candle drawing us on from the ends Of the earth like so many fluttering moths.

Excerpt from Dawn in Russia: Or Scenes in the Russian Revolution I have not attempted in this book to do more than describe some of the scenes which I witnessed in Russia during the winter of I905 - Igo6, while I was acting there as special correspondent for the Daily Cbrouicle. For the most part, the descriptions are given in the same words which I wrote down at the time, either for my own memory or for the news paper. But the whole has been re-arranged and rewritten, while certain scenes have been added for which a daily paper has no room. I have also inserted between the scenes a bare outline of the principal events that were happening elsewhere, so that the Significance of what I saw may be more easily understood, and the dates become something better than mere numbers.

Excerpt from The White Terror and the Red: A Novel of Revolutionary Russia The promenade at a watering place is a great parade ground for the display of plumage, the gayest and costliest gowns being reserved for the procession that follows the taking of the remedy; but while the race is under way and everybody is striving to throw everybody else into the shade, the fact of their being there pierces each dress as with X rays, showing their flesh to be of the same fragile clay.

Excerpt from The New Russia IN dealing with such a living and thrilling subject I have first of all to tell you within what limits I shall speak. It may be that these limits will disappoint you. You must understand at once that I have nothing sensational to tell you. I have not come here to hurl thunderbolts against the Bolsheviks, who are used nowadays much as bugbears are used to frighten children. And again I am sorry not to be able to please those who came here to hear a Bolshevik, because I am not one, in spite of the rumours which have been put about.

Excerpt from History of the Russian Empire: From Its Foundation, by Ruric the Pirate, to the Accession of the Emperor Alexander II Before commencing a narrative Of 'the history of the gigantic empire of Russia, which comprehends nearly the half Of both Europe and Asia' within its do minions, it will be well to dwell brie y upon the present condition of that great political power. Let us state what' Russia now is and then proceed to inquire how it Obtained its enormous territory, and its almost overwhelming influence in Europe. TO the student, the politician, the merchant, and the philosopher, the subject is one of intense interest; while to the statesman the inquiry assumes the aspect of an imperious necessity. That such an empire should have arisen from the binding together of many barbarous tribes and semi-savage states, who were, for the most part, in a condition Of perpetual antagonism, if not hostility, is one of the wonders of modern history. NO power, save an unrestrained despotism, could, in the infancy of so vast and diversified a dominion, have saved it from dissolu tion. Nor are the constituent parts of the colossal dominion of the North merely bound together by military force, like the dependencies and limbs of the Austrian empire. What Russia acquires eventually becomes Russian; it resolves itself at length not merely into a constituent, but also an integral part of herself. She acquires fresh states as much by treaties as by wars; and has the wondrous art Of imbuing her new subjects with a Russian nationality! Even Poland, with all its despairing bravery and' prolonged resistance, is undergoing this change. Its patriotic exiles regard their conqueror with the' profound bitter ness of burning hate; but the masses - the clusters of'human life which in Poland represent the people - are becoming satisfied with the change of rule that has passed over them: indifference, if not even contentment, issuzcceeding to a sense Of inevitable submission.

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.

Excerpt from The New Russia: From the White Sea to the Siberian Steppe Other writers with abler pens have described certain aspects of Russian life, but I am certain that none ever approached the task with more sincere pleasure than I. If at moments I have been critical, then I would say that criticism based upon careful consideration of facts and conditions is, in itself, a hall-mark of appreciation. For it is so much easier to accept everything without comment than to accept certain things and object to others. There is much Russia can learn from us, but I am not certain that it counterbalances in the scales the measure of what we can learn from Russia.

This volume offers a comprehensive and original analysis and reconceptualisation of the compendium of struggles that wracked the collapsing Tsarist empire and the emergent USSR, profoundly affecting the history of the twentieth century. Indeed, the reverberations of those decade-long wars echo to the present day - not despite, but because of the collapse of the Soviet Union, which re-opened many old wounds, from the Baltic to the Caucasus. Contemporary memorialising and 'de-memorialising' of these wars, therefore form part of the book's focus, but at its heart lie the struggles between various Russian political and military forces which sought to inherit and preserve, or even expand, the territory of the tsars, overlain with examinations of the attempts of many non-Russian national and religious groups to divide the former empire. The reasons why some of the latter were successful (Poland and Finland, for example), while others (Ukraine, Georgia and the Muslim Basmachi) were not, are as much the author's concern as are explanations as to why the chief victors of the 'Russian' Civil Wars were the Bolsheviks. Tellingly, the work begins and ends with battles in Central Asia - a theatre of the 'Russian' Civil Wars that was closer to Mumbai than it was to Moscow.
