What reading level is Memoirs of a Russian Governor book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
None of the furniture is of the old-style workmanship of the homespun joiner; everything is new and modern, and is frequently renewed. A good deal there is, perhaps, more com- fortable than in our homes, but the Bessarabian country-houses are elegantly furnished chambers, not ancient manors of the Russian nobility.
I also failed to notice among Bessarabian land-owners any af- fection for their estates — an affection that, with us, is indepen- dent of their beauty or paying qualities. We regard ...our estates as inanimate persons, and love them for their own sakes — not for the income they yield. In Bessarabia an estate is a share of land stock yielding a large dividend and easily transferable, a marketable commodity circulating among enterprising persons owing to the rapid upward movement in the price of land. Land acquired in the seventies at twenty-five to thirty-five rubles per desyatin (about 2. 7 acres) passed in my time into the fifth hand at two hundred and fifty to three hundred and fifty rubles per desyatin.
