March 10, 1870 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "Modern Russia; Comprising Russia Under Alexander II, Russian Communism, the Greek Orthodox Church and Its Sects, the Baltic Provinces of Russia," by Julius Eckardt. It is not difficult to expose the argument which underlies the different parts of the book. Under the reign of Alexander II., Eckardt demonstrates that Russia is a prey to all sorts of wild socialistic and democratic theories, and that all the reforms are illusory, of bad effect, and of wrong theory. In the chapter on communism, the bad effect of the agrarian theories is shown. The article on the Greek Church aims to show the incapacity of the Russian for religious development and religious freedom.
