To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Since the time of Peter the Great, Eussia has essentially been a conquering and aggres- sive military Power. Her failure against Japan, and the growing impoverishment, dissatisfaction, and rebelliousness of her population so greatly endanger the very foundations of the State and the very existence of the autocracy that Eussia may resolve to confine her attention exclusively to domestic affairs. She is so immensely strong for defence that she hardly requires an army, especially as no nation cove...ts Eussian territory. Consequently Eussia may, and possibly will, at some time or other, reduce her army to a police force, cut down her navy, and break off her engagements with foreign Powers which may oblige her to engage in wars which she will avoid at all costs. She may, therefore, resolutely shut herself up in her frontiers, stay at home, and devote all her energies to the arts of peace, disregarding all events outside her own frontiers. Through Eussia's misfortunes, the balance of power in Europe has at least temporarily, but possibly permanently, been destroyed.
