Synopsis
""Six Weeks In Russia In 1919"" is a non-fiction book written by Arthur Ransome, a British journalist and author, about his experiences during his six-week visit to Russia in 1919. The book provides a firsthand account of the political and social conditions in Russia during the early days of the Bolshevik Revolution, as well as Ransome's personal observations and interactions with the people he met during his travels. Ransome's writing style is engaging and descriptive, and he provides a detailed and nuanced perspective on the complex political situation in Russia at the time. He discusses the various factions and ideologies at play, including the Bolsheviks, the Mensheviks, and the anarchists, and provides insights into the daily lives of ordinary Russians, including their struggles with food shortages, poverty, and political repression. Throughout the book, Ransome also shares his own personal reflections on the events he witnessed, including the challenges of reporting on the revolution as a foreign journalist and the ethical dilemmas he faced in trying to remain impartial. Overall, ""Six Weeks In Russia In 1919"" is a fascinating and insightful account of a pivotal moment in Russian history, written by a keen observer who was able to capture the spirit of the times with both clarity and compassion.There was, of course, a dreadful scrimmage about getting away.

Only one motor was obtainable for nine persons with their light luggage, and a motor lorry for the heavy things.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
