To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Finally the government committed itself to the unconstitutional step of publishing an announcement to the people by which the legislative plans of the Duma were repudi- ated in advance. The Duma tried to reply, insisting on the fundamental principle of compulsory sale and inviting the popu- lation — this latter point being opposed by the Group of Toll — to remain quiet and await patiently the results of the Duma's legis- lation. Upon this attempt to address the population, the Duma 14 was disso...lved and the address was never published. The leading majority replied by the famous Viborg Manifesto, proclaiming >^ the principle of passive resistance. The fears of the government ran high at the moment of this declaration. For some few days one dreaded military out- breaks and revolutionary dictators at Tsarkoe Selo. One spoke even of a foreign fleet to appear at the mouth of the Neva. A circular letter of the Premier anticipated serious disorders in the interior. Once more all this only showed that the government itself greatly exaggerated the forces of the organized revolution- ary movement.
