To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The elections produce little excitement, for the simple reason that, as a rule, no one desires to be elected. Once, it is said, a peasant who had been guilty of some misdemeanor was informed by an Arbiter of the Peace, that he would be no longer capable of filling any Communal office; and instead of regretting this diminution of his civil rights, he bowed vei-y low, and respectfully expressed his thanks for the new privilege which he had acquired. This anecdote may not be true, but it illustrat...es the undoubted fact that the Russian peasant regards office as a burden rather than as an honor. There is no civic ambition in those little rural Commonwealths, whilst the privilege of wearing a bronze medal, which commands no respect, and the recep- tion of a. Few roubles as salary, afford no adequate compensation for the trouble, annoyance, and responsibility which a Village Elder has to bear. The elections are therefore generally very tame and unin- teresting. Far more important than the elections, is the redistribution of the Communal land.
