Description
London: Society of Friends of Russian Freedom, 1913. — 30 p.An Address delivered in Paris on the 13th of February, 1913, by Monsieur F. de Pressense, President de la Ligue Francaise des Droits de 1’Homme et du Citoyen, in the Salle des Societes Savantes, under the Presidency of Mme. Vera Figner.I will try to give you an account as objective and complete as possible. I have drawn my facts from authentic sources; I have tried to test those sources in the manner and spirit of the critical method. They are of three kinds — statistical and legislative documents, and the official reports of the Russian Government itself; articles published in juridical Russian reviews, such as Pravo, or in certain newspapers, such as the Novoye Vremya and the Retch. I may say, for those who know what the censorship means in Russia and the regime which dominates the Press, that once facts are published in these reviews and journals without being contested or denied we may accept them as authentic. Another source has been the pamphlets and articles published abroad by Tolstoy, by Kropotkin, by Vera Figner, the reports of the latter made to the Society for the Relief of Russian Prisoners, and certain articles which have appeared in L'Avenir and La Tribune Russe. You will be astonished at first when I mention the third source : the letters, messages, communications which arrive almost regularly from the depths of the Russian prisons and dungeons.
