              <text>I am writing these lines on the evening of the 24th.  The situation is critical in the extreme.  In fact it is now absolutely clear that to delay the uprising would be fatal.&#13;
&#13;
With all my might I urge comrades to realize that everything now hangs by a thread; that we are confronted by problems which are not to be solved by conferences or congresses (even congresses of Soviets), but exclusively by peoples, by the masses, by the struggle of the armed people.&#13;
&#13;
The bourgeois onslaught of the Kornilovites show that we must not wait.  We must at all costs, this very evening, this very night, arrest the government, having first disarmed the officer cadets, and so on.&#13;
&#13;
We must not wait!  We may lose everything!&#13;
&#13;
Who must take power?&#13;
&#13;
That is not important at present.  Let the Revolutionary Military Committee do it, or "some other institution" which will declare that it will relinquish power only to the true representatives of the interests of the people, the interests of the army, the interests of the peasants, the interests of the starving.&#13;
&#13;
All districts, all regiments, all forces must be mobilized at once and must immediately send their delegations to the Revolutionary Military Committee and to the Central Committee of the Bolsheviks with the insistent demand that under no circumstances should power be left in the hands of Kerensky and Co.... not under any circumstances; the matter must be decided without fail this very evening, or this very night.&#13;
&#13;
History will not forgive revolutionaries for procrastinating when they could be victorious today (and they certainly will be victorious today), while they risk losing much tomorrow, in fact, the risk losing everything.&#13;
&#13;
If we seize power today, we seize it not in opposition to the Soviets but on their behalf.&#13;
&#13;
The seizure of power is the business of the uprising; its political purpose will become clear after the seizure....&#13;
&#13;
...It would be an infinite crime on the part of the revolutionaries were they to let the chance slip, knowing that the salvation of the revolution, the offer of peace, the salvation of Petrograd, salvation from famine, the transfer of the land to the peasants depend upon them.&#13;
&#13;
The government is tottering.  It must be given the death-blow at all costs.</text>

                <text>Over the course of more than three centuries of Romanov rule in Russia, foreign visitors and residents produced a vast corpus of literature conveying their experiences and impressions of the country. The product of years of painstaking research by one of the world’s foremost authorities on Anglo-Russian relations, In the Lands of the Romanovs is the realization of a major bibliographical project that records the details of over 1200 English-language accounts of the Russian Empire.Ranging chronologically from the accession of Mikhail Fedorovich in 1613 to the abdication of Nicholas II in 1917, this is the most comprehensive bibliography of first-hand accounts of Russia ever to be published. Far more than an inventory of accounts by travellers and tourists, Anthony Cross’s ambitious and wide-ranging work includes personal records of residence in or visits to Russia by writers ranging from diplomats to merchants, physicians to clergymen, gardeners to governesses, as well as by participants in the French invasion of 1812 and in the Crimean War of 1854-56.Providing full bibliographical details and concise, informative annotation for each entry, this substantial bibliography will be an invaluable tool for anyone with an interest in contacts between Russia and the West during the centuries of Romanov rule.</text>

                <text>The political cartoon is a form of propaganda that was used by the Bolshevik party during their political uprising. In the image we see a group of overweight men, who represent the wealthy capitalist, being served by poor man who is blindfolded. After someone removes the blindfold, he is able to see the people who he has been serving, realizing he was misguided and decides to retaliate. He soon joins the army in order to fight off the corrupt capitalist who are exploiting the working class. The purpose behind the political cartoon is to provoke anger amongst the working class and to join Lenin in his revolutionary movement.  </text>
