Over sixty per cen`.. of the people were illiterate. There was a certain amount of culture in literature and music, but this was conned to the nobility. The masses were in degradation, crushed down and kept there. Under such condi- tions there were bound to be reyoluv tions, but the standing army alwaya had the upper hand. Anarchists were shot down or exiled to Siberia. `Then came the war with Japan. when Russia su"ered a stinging de- feat, and the power of the throne was shaken. Coming to the great -war, Russia s vast army undoubtedly relieved the pressure on the Eastern 1 front until Hindenburg took hold, when there was a breakdown in the morale of the Russian forces. With no guns or supplies, the army was - di. This led to graft. and revolution, and nally to the over- _ throw of the Czar. Since then three freat leaders have tried to lead the nation, Lenin, 'l`rot. and Stalin, ac- cording to the Marx experiment. rw-...__.......... :..
