Winter The Russian Empire Of Today And Yesterday

The Russian Empire has long occupied a prominent place among the great countries of the world, but, although one of the most interesting of foreign lands, it has been but little visited by the great army of American tourists and travellers who annually cross the A tlantic. For that reason it is the least known of all the countries of Europe, although occupying an area nearly twice as large as all the other European nations together. Because of this general ignorance Russia has been a most fertile field for a host of sensational writers, who have disseminated much false and absurd information about both country and people. It is a country in which the less scrupulous of journalists are peculiarly at home. AG erman writer has characterized Russia as The Land of Riddles. The country of the Czar is also frequently spoken of as theS phinx, when reference is made to her diplomacy. It is indeed a difficult country to understand, because of the numerous diverse elements which enter into her political composition, and the diplomacy of Russia has caused many a nightmare for the statesmen of the rest of Europe. There is now, and has always been, a strong opposition on the part of the government to all publicity.
