About the book: 1924 / Knowing some properties inherent in human nature in general, and now especially obvious, I consider it necessary to honestly and directly preface: this book is not “politics ", not a reflection of the Great Russian Revolution, not praise, not blasphemy: to cut out quotes from it that are convenient for topical grumbling means to neglect its modest name - to flaunt implausible testimony in the judges' chambers. These are not sheets of history of great years - no, simply and modestly, petite nonsense, inappropriate footnotes, a hundred subordinate clauses without the main clause, verbosity between brackets. http://ruslit.traumlibrary.net
