Synopsis

Excerpt from Revolutionary Days: Recollections of Romanoffs and Bolsheviki, 1914 1917 These pages merely contain my personal recollections of what occurred around me from the beginning of the war until our departure from home. There is no pretense to literary merit, and I do not aspire to present one political party in a more advantageous light than I do the others. In each group I noticed many a loyal patriot trying to stem the fatal flood; and everywhere there was much suffering. Recent Russian history has been so startling, and so weighted with importance for us, that all I saw and heard fixed itself in my mind. I venture, therefore, to believe I have made few, if any, mis-statements; though I have had no documents at hand to use for verifying what I wrote. One or two tales, such as the account of the Empress's arrest, came to me in a round-about way; but nearly everything I have described either happened in my presence and my neighborhood or was told me by some one of the people who took part in the scene. I have endeavored to repeat exactly and simply all such information. Originally I intended to write only for my children; but I was tempted to publish, at the suggestion of a few friends, and by the generous offer of space in The Saturday Evening Post for a series of articles which appeared recently. They are in part reproduced here by the courtesy of that distinguished journal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
