Lieutenant Zinovi Pechkof, Russian
soldier, who since he lost his arm fight
ing with the Foreign Legion in France
mas been lecturing in this country, yes
terday gave The Tribune his view of
the present crisis in Russia and of the
events that brought it about. He be.
lieves:
That the revolution will not establish
a republic in Russia, but rather a lin.
tied monarchy, with the Grand Duke
Michael at its head.
That the new order now forming. in
stead Of disorganizing Russias conduct
OF the war, will increase her efficiency
UNNECESSARILY, since the men now in
control of Slavonc affairs are those
who by their leadership in the united
zemstvos, city councils and cooperative
leagues have actually directed the af-
fairs Of the Russian state for two
years.
That tie mysterious Ozark forces"
about the Car really precipitated the
nationwide uprising, and that the MUIR
der of Rasputin by a great noble on
December II was the initial stroke Of
violence against bondage
That the Orthodox Church will now
become the great champion and edu-
Gator, rather than the enslaver, Of the
masses.
That most Of the former rulers
$4,000, 100000 fortune will be confs-
Gated and the funds derived therefrom
diverted TO the shaping OF the new
state.
Was in Foreign Legion
Lieutenant Pechkoff, the son Of
Maxim Gorky, was in Italy when the
war broke out, and because he could
not return to his own country accepted
a commission in the Foreign Legion of
France. So close a student of the po-
litical affairs of his country is he that
less than week before the world knew
Russia was in revolt ne was able to
prophesy that the uprising would come
within a fortnight.
what Americans should understand
above all else is why the revolution will
bright greater efficiency and organiza-
tion to the Russian army and why the
structure will endure" he said. This
is because the statesmen who have
come forward TO form the new Cabinet
have stepped logically TO their present
posts from the leaderships of great
bodies which represent the people.
prince Lvoff, the new Premier, for
instance, was head of the great Union
of Zemstvos, that association of hun
dreds of rural organizations which is
the real representative body of the Rus
sian proletariat. Other men now before
the eyes of the world were at the heads
of the united city councils and the united
cooperative leagues. These three organi-
cations, because they represent the peo-
pie, and because they are the source of
all supplies which maintain the army,
