editorial writer 'observes for example,
that all he left behind him was "the
shallow record of a sensational reign,
a Russia still abhorred by civilized
nations, a people free f rom a Czar brit"
not free from tyranny. And for this,
this great unfinished experiment, a
million men and women perished at
the hands of the Chelra, millions more
starved to death in the Volga region
and countless brutalities were heaped
upon Russians who still held to the
