Abstract

In Russia
Brewster, Dorothy | August 17, 1921 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on two books: "The Crisis in Russia," by Arthur Ransome and "The Russian Workers' Republic," by Henry Noel Brailsford. Less than three years ago, author Ransome saw in the Soviet Revolution the fulfilment of English poet P.B. Shelley's vision: "Shake your chains to earth like dew...Ye are many, they are few." Today, after renewed contact with Russian realities, his talk is all of Babbitt metal, boiler tubes, piston rings-ammunition needed in the grim battle with economic disintegration. Chains forged by centuries of hatred, oppression and ignorance are not to be shaken off like clew.
