About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1919. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER II IN THE LAND OF "NITCHEVO" Russia, as a nation passing through the period of reconstruction, is a "land of Nitchevo." Arriving in Siberia, "Nitchevo" is the first Russian word the foreigner learns. The Russians use it to cover a multitude of evasions and to answer a thousand and one questions. "I should worry," or "Nothing matters," expresses the national state of mind. Ask a droshky driver what he thinks of Bolshevism and he will answer: "Nitchevo."

In trailing the Bolsheviki it is the philosophy of "Nitchevo" which impresses one as much as the lack of definite knowledge regarding the doctrines of Bolshevism and its workableness. The world may have been a stage in Shakespeare's time, but it is not now. To-day it is a kindergarten where all the inhabitants are pupils whom the statesmen are trying to frighten into goodness by the warning: "The Bolsheviki will get you if you don't watch out!" These new goblins of politics make children out of all of us and we ask with childish fear and curiosity: "What are the Bolsheviki?" "Why are they?" "What are they for?" "Will they get me?" The trail of the Bolsheviki to-day is a long one, a sort of political caravan route winding and twisting over the map of Europe, Asia, and the United States, upon which the new goblins travel spreading their gospel of revolution wherever...
