Excerpt from Real Russians
Since the revolution has produced the tremendous changes which are now before the eyes of the world, I have been asked by a great many people whether last summer I had had any inkling of the coming Revolu tion Yes 1 for the mutterings of the storm had begun to make themselves heard, and this makes me think that the story of my personal experiences on a journey rather unique for a woman, would prove of interest to the general reader, and might also enable him to realise that many of the disorders now become apparent were even then actually existing. This, I hope, will call forth even greater and more intelligent sympathy for the Russian people from their Allies. It is for this reason alone that publicity has been given to certain of the following chapters.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a glimpse into imperial Russia through the personal experiences of Sonia Howe, who travelled throughout the vast country during World War I. Howe's mission was to plead for a political amnesty, an endeavor that provided her with unique access to government ministers, exiled prisoners, and the suffering masses of a nation engaged in a desperate conflict. This book provides not only an eyewitness account of the events of the time but also a series of insightful portraits of people whose lives were being shaped by the turmoil of war and revolution. Howe's detailed observations reveal the strengths and weaknesses of Russian society and provide a thought-provoking study of a country in a state of profound transition. Through Howe's candid and evocative prose, this book offers a fresh perspective on a period of great historical significance, shedding light on the forces that would reshape both Russia and the world.
