The sufferings endured by the Russian revolutionaries were
sometimes terrible, I repeat the word, but they did not tend to
discouragement-far from it. The author may be permitted to remember
that he also did not flinch under persecution: outlawed for many
years in his own country for the crime of visualizing it happier,
more desirable and more honored in the mirage of international
solidarity, on this account also he was but little liked by the
adherents of the later false tenets that ravaged, without shame,
the harvest that had been so hardly sown for all. Anyone will
understand, with all desirable clearness, the profound difference
that exists between the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the French
Revolution of 1789. No one was better qualified to write this
review than Dr. Angelo S. Rappoport, who knows both France and
Russia so thoroughly. The comparisons, or the parallels a la
Plutarch, that one reads now and then in the papers too often evoke
nothing but a smile. The relative failure of 1905 involved the fall
of Tsarism in 1917. I remember well what the illustrious and
sincerely regretted geographer Elisee Reclus quite calmly said to
me at the New University of Brussels in 1905; " This is the
greatest revolution the world has ever seen!" " The most profound,"
I answered. "It is the same thing as I see it," he replied. The
book of Dr, Angelo S. Rappoport proves the truth of these remarks.
I would also draw attention to the pages devoted to Lavrov and
Bakounine, and at the same time express my hope that the author of
The Pioneers of the Russian Revolution will enlarge the field of
his operations.
