Who Can Be Happy, and Free in Russia? (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Who Can Be Happy, and Free in Russia?

There are few literate persons in Russia who do not know whole pages Of this poem by heart. It will live as long as Russian literature exists; and its artistic value as an instrument for the depiction Of Russian nature and the soul Of the Russian people can be compared only with that Of the great epics Of Homer with regard to the legendary life Of ancient Greece.
