What reading level is Russia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All theproprietors were in the habit of using corporal punishment as theythought proper, and unless a proprietor became notorious for inhumancruelty the authorities never thought of interfering. But in the eyesof the peasants corporal punishment was not the worst. What they fearedinfinitely more than the birch or the stick was the proprietor's powerof giving them or their sons as recruits. The law assumed that thisextreme means would be employed only against those serfs who showedthemselves inc...orrigibly vicious or insubordinate; but the authoritiesaccepted those presented without making any investigations, andconsequently the proprietor might use this power as an effective meansof extortion.
Against these means of extortion and oppression the serfs had nolegal protection. The law provided them with no means of resisting anyinjustice to which they might be subjected, or of bringing topunishment the master who oppressed and ruined them. The Government, notwithstanding its sincere desire to protect them from inordinateburdens and cruel treatment, rarely interfered between the master andhis serfs, being afraid of thereby undermining the authority ofthe proprietors, and awakening among the peasantry a spirit ofinsubordination.
