A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The truthful words about theS chlusselburg Political Prison should serve the cause of Russian freedom. The story was written during the short period of Days of Liberty in Russia, when there was hope that the Fortress would no longer be used as a political dungeon, when its doors were thrown open and the friends of the released inmates were enabled to visit the very cells where Vera Figner, Herman A lexanrowitch Lopatin and others spent scores of years in seclusion and where Nicholas Morosoff wrote his Astronomical Interpretation of the A pocalypse. But since then the scale of Nemesis has turned once more. The power of the autocracy is again restored and the doors of theS chlusselburg Dungeon are closed to hide again from the world the awful mystery of its solitary cells. The life of the new inmates is again dribbling out slowly and silently, drop by drop. NICHOLAS TCHAYKOVSKY. 20th of July, 1907. London. NOTE Nicholas Tchaykovsky, who wrote the preface, shortly after July, 1907, went toR ussia. He and Catherine Breshkovsky, who also continued her activity there, were soon arrested and are now imprisoned in theS ts. Peter and Paul Fortress inS t. Petersburg.
