Excerpt from The Children's Story of the WarRussians, though superior in numbers, made no sort of stand, but fell back in hopeless disorder.Early in November one of the sections of Russum Socialists, known as the Bolshevists - that is, those belonging to. The Socialist majority - seized the reins of power. They had already undermined the discipline of the army, had stirred up the soldiers against their officers, had urged the people to do what, seemed right in their own eyes, and had cried aloud for a peace which would bring the war to an end Without the loss of territory or the payment of a money fine.The leader of this party was a man of Russian and gentle birth, named Lenin. It is said that he set himself to bring about the ruin of Russia in revenge for the execution of his brother, who had tried to murder the Tsar Alexander III. In 1887. He was assisted in this foul work by a man named Trotsky, who made bitter speeches against the Allies, and also by a gang of clever lawyers and dreamers who were lavishly supplied with German gold. They professed that they were anxious only for the happiness of the people, and to further this end they stirred up the peasants and workmen against the rich, and encouraged them to seize land and plunder the houses of the well-to-do. Before long the country was rent with civil strife, and was breaking up into separate republics.Perhaps you wonder Why sober, level-headed Russians did not unite to put down the Bolshevists. You must remember that most of the Russian peasants are terribly ignorant. Prob ably eight out of every ten cannot read or write, and as they have never known what freedom means, they have not learnt how to combine and work out their own salvation by lawful means. Then, too, we must not forget that they had suffered greatly during the war, and were. Eager for peace at any price. Further, the Bolshevists had gained control of the State money, and had raised a force' of Red Guards composed of the old secret police, mutinous soldiers and sailors, rogues and vaga bonds, and criminals of all sorts. These men, who were paid high wages and were given many privileges, set up a reign of terror, and ruthlessly put down every attempt to hand over the government to sane, law-abiding men.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
