ABSTRACT

The Russian worker rising at the head of all the democratic elements will overthrow absolutism and lead the Russian proletariat along the direct road of open political struggle to the victorious communist Revolution. Sir Bernard Pares the intervention of England in the Russian Civil War, though it failed to affect its purpose, was not calculated to promote good relations between the two countries. Equally mischievous in its effects was Russian interference in English domestic politics. Sympathy with the 'nationalists' in the civil war raging in Ireland added fuel to the flames, and in March 1919 the situation in England had become grave. The socialists attempted to avenge their defeat at the polls by organizing in May 1926 a General Strike. The industrial revolution, carried through with astounding rapidity within a decade, has enabled Russia to equip herself for war waged on a colossal scale against the greatest military Power in the world.
