The Russian peasant must ncces-
sarily be interesting to the world TO
day, for he is the key to the Russian
problem.
In the myriad of villages scattered
throughout this vast country live l2o,-
100000 peasants. no less than 80 per
cent. of The whole population of Rus
sia; and the portentous query looming
larger in all minds as day succeeds
day is: What can this huge brother
hood effect, what will it effect, and
when?
For centuries past, and especially
since the time OF Boris Godunoff, 1888
1908, have these peasants been refused
the rights due to every man born OF
woman. Culture, education. knowl-
edge of even the most elementary ma
ture, has been denied them. The out
side world has been blank, and from
childhood it has been instil!ed into
