The text cited as it is from the book of Oliver M. Sayler "Russia White or Red." The author was an American journalist, dramatic editor of "The Indianapolis News", who set out in September, 1917, by the Pacific Ocean, Japan, and Siberia, and arrived in Moscow in the midst of the Bolshevik Revolution. He lived six months in Russia - the first half year of the Bolshevik regime and, maybe, the most significant single period thus far in the course of the Russian Revolution.
