Abstract

The Blindness of Sovereigns
Harper, Samuel N. | January 24, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the political condition in Soviet Union and its effects on society. The country is suffering for the "sins of the old regime," to use another expression. Thus many saw clearly why the social revolution followed almost immediately the purely political revolution of March. Certainly a revolution was necessary in Soviet Union and if it has gone to such extremes, the blame falls largely on the former rulers of Soviet Union, who were both selfish and blind. The leaders of the Russian public knew what the future had in store for Soviet Union unless the Government recognized the "voice of the people," and listened to it in time.
