Download The Life-Story Of A Russian Exile Author Marie Sukloff Viewable As Edition

dont know much about the woman, Marie Sukloff, who wrote this book, I tried to find some more information about her, but couldnt find any, So she is probably not that well known, but I still found it an interesting view into prerevolution Russia,

It tells the story of a young Jewish girl that dislikes the situation in Russia at the time, and decides to fight it, first by talking, and distributing pamphlets, and later with weapons.
It basically shows her development from someone that dislikes what is going on around her, to a terrorist,

The writing is a bit stiff, This may be because Gregory Yarros translation is not very good, or maybe Sukloff wasnt that good a writer, Most of the time this isnt a problem, its mostly notable in conversations that it shows through, Despite that I found it an interesting book, Still cant be sure of how accurate portrait she paints of the situation though, I wonder why this hasn't been made into a movie! It was interesting to learn about the struggles of communist revolutionaries in the czarist empire in the very earlyth century.
For me, the best part was to learn about the different networks of revolutionaries and movements at work in Russia, and ways that the imperial government dealt with them.
Historically speaking, I also don't think it's a coincidence that the movements happened at a time when Russia was at risk of invasion from Japan, A powerful story about young Marie who, together with her family and the majority of Russian population from the beginning ofs, lived in the conditions of the most unbelievable poverty.
This both pushed and inspired her to begin her brave journey and abruptly cross from the age of innocence into the world of imprisonment, physical torture and, eventually, a murder.
She experienced deadly cold of Siberia, spent years behind bars for distributing revolutionary materials, murdered an opressive politician, and eventually found her freedom after years of longing, . . This is the fascinating autobiography of a young woman who became a socialist terrorist in earlyth century Russia, What is perhaps even more disturbing than the events she shares is the general lack of emotion or remorse that she shows, She tells of

her parents when they see how hatred has devoured her, but she presents even that with a sense of disconnection, This book may well help people to understand a little better how easily youth can be indoctrinated and drawn into violent terrorism, Sadly, Marie Sukloff pursued violence and destruction in order to free her beloved country, without understanding how socialism would actually create even more poverty and destitution and remove even more freedoms from the people.
It echos the "change for the sake of change" propaganda that is still alive and well in the world and even wins or loses whole elections, This book also clearly shows the power of media, In those days it was printed pamphlets, Information is power, as they say, Limited and manipulated information can drive an entire country to do any number of unspeakable things, Miss Sukloff is a clear example of this, The remarkable experience of a young girl, being an account of her peasant childhood, her girlhood in prison, her exile to Siberia, and escape from there, Translated by Gregory Yarros. Illustrated from photographs. .
