has become the home of Catherine
Brechko- Brechkovskia. She is 1.-THE
grandmother of the Russian revolu-
ton" meaning that revolution which
overthrow Nicholas II and established
the Inflated Kerensky regime in the
land of the Cars.
Besides being an uncompromiSing
foe OF czarism, she is equally opposed
10 holSheviSm. She is certain that the
present Union of Soviet Socialist Re-
publics will fall, and that within few
years.
Fully one-third of her 86 years has
been passed as prisoner. Under the
Gar she served IA years at hard labor
followed by 10 more of mere exile in
Siberia. She had IL years of hiding in
old Russia and s years of existence I'M
der czarist police supervision, during
which she managed to sandwich in two
trips to the United States.
Sanguine Of Collapse.
The "Babouchka." as she is fondly
called by Russians of her political
faith. is Sanguine that the bolShevik
regime will collapse within few years
and that she, despite her years, will
live to see it. She hopes to make a
solemn re-entrance into the old Rus
sian capital when that city shall have
lost its sobriquet of Leningrad and
become Petrograd.
The grandmother of the revolution
has already enjoyed one triumphant re-
turn of that sort. That was in 1917
and it lasted eight months. But when
the bolsheVikS entered the "Babouchka'
