Self Government In Russia PDF Download

Excerpt from Self-Government in Russia England and Russia seem at first glance to stand at the opposite poles of European civilisation: the classical country of constitutionalism, the centre of industry, the great mart of sea intercourse on one side, and the Holy Russia of Tsardom, the home of agricultural peasantry, the vast background of Continental Europe on the other. And yet, for the unprejudiced observer the two countries possess many common traits: we may notice at the outset that the British are not only insular but cosmopolitan, and so are the Russians. The insularity of the Briton is not only the conscious reflex of a geographical situation, but the necessary outcome of a civilisation moulded within the compass of three seas.
