Synopsis
Excerpt from The Village: Russian Impressions
In my hotel room in Petrograd, Tarasov was doing his packing. I had already finished mine. It was a stifling afternoon in August, 1917, and we were trying to get off for a trip to a little Village deep in the heart of the country. But I had small hope of catching the train. My companion was a man about forty, huge of limb and nearly bald. His face was flushed and perspiring. A vast disorderly heap of belongings lay all around him on the floor, and he was mauling things about with a kind of desperate patience. To my imprecations he said not a word. I heard him panting softly.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an insightful exploration into the lives of ordinary Russians during the turbulent era following the 1917 revolution, delving into the hopes, fears, and struggles of everyday citizens. Through the eyes of the author and his interpreter Tarasov, the book offers an intimate glimpse into the realities of Russian society - the disillusionment and hardship brought about by war, the rise of political extremism, and the erosion of trust in authority. The author's keen observations and lively interactions with locals, from peasants to doctors, provide a multi-faceted perspective on the complexities of the period. The book sheds light on the impact of revolutionary rhetoric on individuals and communities, revealing the widespread skepticism and war-weariness that existed alongside the fervor of the time. It explores the tensions between tradition and modernity, the clash between individual aspirations and collective ideals, and the ways in which ordinary people navigated the chaos of their time. Ultimately, the book offers a nuanced understanding of the human experience amidst the upheavals of history, providing valuable insights into the enduring challenges and aspirations of both a nation and humanity as a whole.
