Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the author's journey through Russia during the famine of the late 19th century. The author, who lived in Russia for 12 years, saw firsthand the devastating effects of the famine on the peasantry. He describes the peasants as charming but lazy and ignorant, and he believes that the famine was caused by a combination of bad management and natural disasters. The author also discusses the work of Count Tolstoy, who was feeding the starving peasants, and the role of the zemstvos, or local government councils, in providing relief. This book is a valuable historical document that provides a glimpse into a forgotten chapter of Russian history. It is also a thought-provoking examination of the causes and consequences of famine, a topic that is still relevant today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
