The Russian Revolution was madness it was madness, and a destructive madness at that. Suffice it to state what it did to Russian religiosity of all confessions, especially to the Orthodox Church; What it did to Russian education, especially to higher and secondary education, to Russian art, to Russian law and legal consciousness, to the Russian family, to the sense of dignity and self-respect, to Russian kindness and patriotism was madness on the part of the moderate revolutionary and semi-revolutionary parties themselves, which were soon destroyed with all their plans, programs, manpower, newspapers and traditions. Ivan Alexandrovich Ilin.
