the revolution. At present it houses

DAKU, U.S.SR.-that name brings
y to mind many historic associa-
tions. The glamorous romantic
East, old Persia and the Khans,
Turkey, the Russian Cars, religious
fanaticism and intolerance. ma
tional hatreds, Armenian massacres
and British "civilizers,"
Baku spells oil, and oil. as is
we'll known, has an irresistible at
traction for the imperialist. 1t is
no wonder therefore that the hand
of British imperialism is to be found
in Baku. 1t was short-lived, the
hold of this hand, but it left an
indelible imprint upon the city: it
is perpetuated in numerous monu-
ments to the twenty-six Bolshevik
Commissars who had been taken
out of the city by the British in
terventionists and their local coun-
ter Revolutionary allies and then
murdered in the desert across the
Caspian. That happened in 1918,
before the Bolsheviks established
themselves permanently in Baku
Once Baku was the city of the
Nobels, the Mantashevs, and other
millionaire and lesser oil barons
and baronets. 1t was regular"
city, and sort of Klondike for
spectators, exploiters, Adventures,
lovers of easy money.
(To be sure there were workers
too in Baku, even in those times.
Many of them. But they did not
count. They were there to slave
and stsrve and make money for
these who counted. If it happened
that the workers resented their po-
sition and struck and rose against
their masters, there we're the Cars
police ready for such occasions.
DAKU was city of SCOT, and dirt,
u and little novels, and squalor,
and sand storms, and fabulous
riches, and dire poverty, and broth
els, and prostitutes of many ma
tionalities, and merchants galore,
and fairs to which merchants from
near and far came to sell their
wares and buy some pleasures
1t had churches, and mosques,
end synagogues- 1T was a god-fear-
ing city.
1t had some magnificent houses
and palaces where the kings of oil
and satraps of the Gar lived. And
it had mud-huts, and dug-outs, and
narrow shrinking alleys.
And now-well, there still is a
city, bigger than ever. Only ac-
cording to authentic information of
CID timers, what is called Baku to-
day bears very little resemblance
to the old city of Baku. Most of
those things which had given the
Baku of old its peculiar color, its
atmosphere and regulations, are
gone, have been ruthlessly de-
stroyed.
The Bolsheviks destroyed most of
the cid novels and mud huts and
replaced them by modern build
ings. Thev destroyed the reputa-
ton of Baku as city of holy in
tolerance and fierce national and
religious hatreds. They even de-
stroyed it's reputation as city in
which no trees could take root.
In its pre-Bolshevk past Baku
had a population of about o0,0oO.
According to the information of
people who had known the city in
that past, less than half of old
Baku is left in the present en-
larged city with its nearly 100000
population. And the work of de-
struction still goes on apsce.
