Why Russians do not Emf.
crate.

Ihave been asked many times by
friends in America why intelligent and
liberty-loving Russians do not get out
of such country. Many answers
might be given to this question, but
perhaps the most comprehensive and
cogent of them will be found in Sec
tions 325-32S OF the Russian Penal
Code, which are as follows: "Section
325-Whoever leaves tue fatherland
and enters the service of q foreign
Government without permission OF
his own Government, or becomes @
subject of q foreign power, such per.
son, for violation of his allegiance and
cath, shall be deprived OF all civil
rights and expelled from the limits OF
the empire forever. II he returns he
shall be exiled to Siberia for life. Sec
ton 326-Whoever leaves the father
land and does not return at the sum-
mons OF the Government shall for this
disobedience be deprived of ell civil
rights and expelled from the limits OF
the empire forever, unless, within q
period to be fixed at the discretion OF
q court, he shows that his disobedience
was due to causes which were beyond
his control or which mitigate his guilt.
Until he shall make such proof he
shall be regarded as missing, and his
property shall be controlled by the
Bureau of Guardianship. Sec
ton 327 - Any person who,
without permission of the Gov
eminent and without adequate rea
son, lives abroad beyond the period
fixed by law for persons of his station
shall also be regarded rs missing, lit
orally, absent without news. and his
property shall be taken in charge by
the Bureau OF Guardianship. Section
28-Any person who persuades a
subject of the empire to emigrate to
another country shall be punished
with penal servitude in convict COM
pany for not less than IL nor more
than Is months, or be banished to
Siberia for life. Under one OF the
above quoted sections (326) Turge-
nieff, while living in Paris in 1868, was
summoned to St. Petersburg to an.
swer before the Directing Senate for
something he had written Or said.
One can see from his letters to a
friend, P. Y. Annenkoff. how humiliat-
ing and exasperating obedience was to
him, but-he obeyed. The Govern
ment does not recognize the right of
Its subjects to 60 abroad or to live
abroad without its permission, and
il, therefore, a Russian takes refuge
from oppression in freer country, he
must face the prospect OF expatria-
ton, outlawry, the loss of all the

home, country, and all that a man
naturally holds dear. What alterna-
tive. then, is left to the oppressed when
oppression becomes intolerable?
They must either submit or fight; and
if they are not willing to submit, and
are not able, under the provisions OF
this code; to oppose tyranny by
peaceful collective action, they will
inevitably resort to violence and fight
singiy or in small groups, as they are
now fighting, until they 60 to Siberia
in leg letters or perish on the scaffold."
