The article discusses about the book "The Background of the Russian Revolution," by Alexander Meyendorff. The author of this book is described on the jacket of his book as a Russian baron, a former vice-president of the Imperial Duma, and at present attached as reader in Russian institutions and economics to the University of London. His book consists of three short essays, delivered last year as the Colver lectures at Brown University. The text is generously interlarded with American references and comparisons. These afford the American reader unversed in Russian or Soviet values a basis for appraising the author.
