Russia Before Dawn (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Russia Before Dawn

Hey were russians-slavs, with all the intensity, the phantasy and the harsh realism that have made the Slav what he is.

With them were Russian Jews, gifted with the imagina tion, the tenacity and the organizing ability that mark their race.

They were, one and all, dreamers - the Josephs of their generation!

They dreamed of an Earthly Paradise! Year after year they cherished this dream - in prison, in exile, even on the scaffold itself. Many of them died for it, died under the knout and by hangman's rope, unafraid. Many spent long years in Siberian exile. Many more became outcasts and wanderers, living in poverty in Geneva, Paris or London.
