To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is now applied to all classes whd oppose the government, from the insane fanatic who throws a bomb at the Czar, to the statesman who sees the evils of the present system and conscientiously warns the Government that it cannot always exist as it is. The whole body of people in Rus- sia who are opposed to the present condition of the empire are Nihilists, and they are wrongly named. This body is divided into several classes, or parties. First, there are the Con- stitutionalists, reasoning and ...loyal men, and they are many — the late Czar himself was one of them — who believe that the proper cure for the evils that exist in Russia is the adoption of a Constitu- tion, a change from an absolute despotism to a liberal monarchy, like Germany or England. They believe that this is the manifest destiny of Russia, that the spirit of the age requires it, and that it sooner or later must come. They differ widely as to the proper method to bring about what they all desire. The late Czar, had he been allowed to live a few months longer, would have given the people just this thing.
