We’re receiving no books from Russia. But literature is the most nation-specific of the arts. Music, painting, scientific discoveries – all this represents an Esperanto of sorts for the whole world. See more

With news of the revolution having reached Paris, a number of Russian newspapers appeared of the most extreme nature. The newspapers, as well as individuals who emigrated, having gained access to the mass of soldiers, fed them with Bolshevik Leninist-Makhaev propaganda, at times even giving false information, drawn from fragmentary telegrams in French newspapers.

I stayed in London for two weeks and today I’m pressing on. In London, I didn’t waste any time. I met many poets, artists, and essayists. I gave an interview to one weekly literary newspaper on my general view of modern poetry, and came to the aid of one translator in compiling an anthology of contemporary Russian poets. See more
