ICONS AND REVOLT

Icons and church banners are NOV
ing through the streets of Petrograd
once more says an exchange-Rara
headed marchers are chanting oSav,
us 0 Lord" along the Nevskii
Prospekt. There has been notbirg
like this in Lenine-Land since the
evil days that came early in 1919
Bolsheyist papers that have reach
ed Reyal are filled with accounts Of
what must have been an extraordi-
nary and menacing spectacle. II
was May 8 that religion boldly rais-
ed its head in Russia despite more
than three years of torch, persecu-
tion and murder. From 8 o'clock in
the morning till in the afternoon
a steady procession of priests, work
men and even uniformed followers
Of the Soviet swept down the
Neyskii ProSpekt
There were so many workmen in
the procession that the Soviet Of
ficials and police looked, longed and
forbore to interfere in any way. The
Reds ground their teeth and cursed.
the Menshviki, the Social Revolu
ti&lar4es and the Russian Church,
but laid no hand upin the marchers.
The Reds admit that the unrest
IN the Russian industrial centers has
taken on a religious character. The
peasant has kept the Church alive
for more than three years, but the
cities have seen little of priests.
bishops or patriarchs The Holy
synod had disappeared and its power
had vanished in the great towns.
Little wonder that even the Soviet
newspapers are referring, to the
demonstration as "a resurrection
from the dead.
If the industrial unrest, heightened
by the fear of famine within the next
three months, become merged with a
string Of religious emotions, Lenine
and Trotzky will have troubjous
summer. The dersadd for
Constituent Assembly, the dwindlng
of the bread ration as Russia gets
f1ther away from the 1920 harvest,
the continuous strikes and the grow
mo mortality rates are nowtroublng
Moscow. If IT, RUSS IN religious
emotion gets out of hand the
Duumvirs of Moscow may face a
holy war; and of all wars fought I'M
der the sun, a religious war is the
most fanatic, unreasoning and terri
BILE,
A Soviet writer who watched the
procession on May asked his read
ers: what is the meaning of this ?
A third revolution?" If the Soviet
leaders have anything stored in
their memory cells other than the
precepts Of Karl Marx, they will do
well to ask themselves the same
question.
"ynnaturally savage they seemed,
those alleged Christians. Sinister
seemed this long, many-headed
sphinx." runs another Red writer's
comment.
There seems to have been chill
at the hearts of the Reds who watch
ad this resurrection at the dead. -
.rhay NAV have cause to remember
that alL-day procession on the
Navskii Prospekt.
