Project Gutenberg 1998-05-01 Public domain in the USA. 274 Ransome, Arthur 1884 1967 The Crisis in Russia Produced by An Anonymous Volunteer, and David Widger "The Crisis in Russia" by Arthur Ransome is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the chaotic and rapidly changing political landscape in Russia during the aftermath of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent civil war. It discusses the ongoing crises that shape the country's internal politics as well as the external pressures it faces, advocating for a nuanced understanding of the scenarios where both revolutionary and non-revolutionary forces find themselves contending for the same goals, ultimately foreshadowing the dire consequences for European civilization as a whole. At the start of the book, Ransome offers insights into the dynamic and disorienting environment of post-revolutionary Russia, emphasizing how the revolution led to an accelerated pace of change affecting every facet of life. He reflects on the harsh realities of widespread economic shortages, governmental decay, and social disintegration that mark the state of the nation. Ransome highlights critical themes such as the struggle for food and resources, the deterioration of labor productivity, and the interplay between urban and rural populations. He recalls his observations of a country grappling with the remnants of war while attempting to stabilize itself under a communist regime, revealing that the revolutionary government still faces the very real threat of economic collapse, which impacts the lives of ordinary Russians caught in the upheaval.
