Joubert, C: Russia as It Really Is (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Russia as It Really IsI do not challenge the rights of any man. But it is unfortunate when a few scribbling pens can lead a nation to false impressions. And here I would point out that the Russian immigrant to this country knows about as much of his own country as the average street pedlar in Whitechapel knows of the British Empire.I took some friends of mine one day to White chapel to demonstrate this very fact. I gave them leave to select their own subjects for examination. They found the man they wanted, and we sat down to talk. He was a well-dressed man who could read and write Russian.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
