Excerpt from Russia's Agony
Russia has to voice her sentiment otherwise. The time for peaceful expression will come when the hostile garrison of Bolshevism and its German supporters have been driven out. What form of government mayr then be adopted by the free decision of the Russian people concerns only them selves. Three centuries ago they elected a Tsar of the Romanovs. The elements of a true democracy were embodied in the Zemsky Sobor, or Assembly of the Land. But Russia then was dominated by Byzantine tradition, and later by Ger man influence. The voice of the people was dulled by these nu-russian forces. Freed of their deadening power, Russia will assert the principles of justice and true democracy that are inherent to the Russian character. Her troubles came not from the Monarchy, but from the alien influences that the Monarchy imbibed. The German incubus will have been removed ere Russia can revive.
Of that revival I perceive sure and certain promise. I believe that the Russian people were destined to play an exalted part in the advancement of mankind, and that the day will soon dawn when the peoples of the world will duly appreciate the sacrifices that the Russians have endured, not less than the services that they render to the common cause of humanity. It 13 with this confidence that I am leaving the hospitable shores of America to rejoin my Russian com rades in the great adventure of this unparalleled war - the restoration of Russia.
