NEW YORK. June 15.—The distress,
hopelessness and chaos which over
whelmed the well-to-do classes In the
Russian revolution are vividly por
trayed from the standpoint of a Rus
sian woman in a letter received by
her former classmate in this coun
try. The writer is a daughter of a
Russian diplomat who was connected
with the Russian embassy in Wash
ington about twenty years ago and a
widow of an officer in the Russian
army who was killed early in the war.
“Russia, crushed by exterior and in
terior enemies, justly despised and ab
hored by the great countries that
once trusted her, is ruined and disap
pearing,” she wrote. “My country is
ceasing to exist. It was bad enough
before the March revolution, when
our unhappy, half-witted Emperor, un
der the influence of his German wife,
seemed to do everything possible to
make people lose patience. We have
a thousand anonymous potentates,
the top ones paid by Germany, and the
lower ones lured into supporting them
by money, money, money.
“The present government has abol
ished all laws, all courts, the police,
land ownership, all private real-estate
in towns, all distinction of castes and
grades in the army and navy. They
have seized all the banks, arc opening
all the private safes and confiscating
all gold and silver found therein al
though it had never been said before
that it was criminal to have it.
“Of course everything they ‘decree'
is so mad that it is quite sure not to
last forever, but the chaos they make
will take centuries to forget. The
country is going back to a savage
state. And we will not live to wait
for better times.
"All Kussia 13 sunocaung—ever)
day brings new surprises that show
that there is but one way out of it—
the grave. On the ground of libertj
they abolish laws, judges, attorneys,
and substitute for it ‘people’s courts
of justice’ with only soldiers, work
men or peasants, often /quite illiter
ate and alwcyu without ^the slightest
knowledge of court proceedings, tak
ihg the places of the former judiciary.
“On the same ground they abolish
all police, let loose all the criminals
from the prisons, arm them, consti
tuting from their number, together
with workmen, deserters and hooli
gans, a ‘red guard,’ and fill the prisons
to their utmost with all those whe
crave for order and will not work to
gether with them towards the tota
ruin of the country.
“On the pretense of equality the)
abolish all grades in the army anc
navy and make all posts elective bj
the simple soldiers. In most places it
is understood as complete extermin
ation, lynching of the officers, whe
for being better educated, are under
suspicion of being ‘counter-revolution
ary.’ The highest posts are occupied
by elected soldiers who very ofter
can hardly sign their names, and the
former officers are made simple sol
diers with a soldier’s pay of $3.50 8
month and ordered to the lowes
taSks, cleaning of the barracks, cook
ing food, taking care of the horses
“Our great country could only ex
ist when the wheels of the govern
ment were working in harmony. Now
everything is a perfect chaos. Every
body was willing to throw over the
Czaristic government, but not in or
der to change it for this one, of loot,
anarchy and treason toward our allies!
Oh, the sjiame, the disgrace and the
folly of it!
“The army, which how consists ol
young boys (the regular one is long
ago killed), without any sense of duty,
morals and discipline, see their ac
quired freedom in the freedom to go
r-"" ■ -
home when they want to. And so all '
the trains. aM the- stations are at
tacked and destroyed by this horde of
savages, who kill the engineers, if it
seems to them that the train is going
too slowly, who martyrize the rail
way agents who tell them of the im
possibility of starting their train for
there is another one coming towards
them in the same time. As this hu
man flood g°es home without organ
ization everything is looted and de
stroyed.
"Some months ago I was believing
myself to be quite well off. l have a
house in Petrograd. Last spring I
was offered $125,000 for it, but was ad
vised not to sell and go over to Amer
ica to have my little girl become a
happy American school girl. Now—I
have on hand about $2,000 and no
other resources; the house like other
private property being confiscated, the
revenue going to the government; that
is to say to the private pockets of the
usurpers. The government bonds—
annulated (repudiated) and even if I
| had now more money—believe me,
i there is nothing to buy.
“Petrograd will begin to die from
j hunger one of these days. And those
i who are the authors of it are sure to
escape at the last moment abroad and
live happily afterwards with the mil
lions they "ill have robbed, and then
leave the country to its dreadful fate.
"Life in Petrograd is horrible—all
the criminals, all the workmen and
demoralized soldiers rob the few cars
that still bring some kind of products.
In the very heart of the city, in day
time, you have your clothes taken off
your back, literally. Just think that
there Is no police, nobody to call for
help, for those who would like to
help have their firearms confiscated,
even to the officers, even the highest
generals. All the soldiers etc., are
armed and have become highwaymen.
At any moment you can expect a num
ber of them coming into your private
lodging and, under pretense of per
quisition take away all your money
and valuables. *
"And the government declares that
in a ‘real socialistic state’ no crime
against private property will be con
sidered hs such, for the biggest of all
crimes is just ‘the crime of private
ownership,’ so you see there is no
where to look for help.
“Our money is not accepted any
where abroad. Russia is bankrupt,
so that it Is impossible to escape. All
my friends and relatives are in the
same awful position. Everybody is
living on their last money, even those
who were quite rich. Their monej
was in government or private bonds
and as they are declared void, where
will you get the money from? My pool
mind cannot grasp the whole thing
it is too great madness. I hope witl
all my heart that my dear American
friends are happy—it is some reliel
to think that there are people nol
suffering what we have to.
“My only chance to save my little
girl’s life and my own would be tc
get away from here and go to the
United States. If you can think ol
any way to bring this about please
write and let me know. I would dc
any kind of work—and if I came tc
starve there, it would be to have mj
little one escape from this mad-house
“Here, if we do not die in the nex
months, we will be slaves, regulai
■ slaves, of our lowest classes. So you
see that anything in free Amenct
: would surely be a thousand timet
better than what we must expeei
here.”
