What reading level is Russia volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is almost impossible to read a few pages of the old native chronicles without stumbling on 146 PEASANTRY OF THE NORTH references to slaves; and I distinctly remember — though I cannot at this moment give chapter and verse — that there was one Russian Prince who was so valiant and so successful in his wars, that during his reign a slave might be bought for a few coppers. How the distinction between serfs and slaves gradu- ally disappeared, and how the latter term fell into disuse, I need not ...here relate; but I must assert, in the interests of truth, that the class of serfs above mentioned, though they were officially and popu- larly called dyorovuiye lyudi — that is to say, court- yard people — were to all intents and purposes domestic slaves. Down to the commencement of the present century the Russian newspapers con- tained advertisements of this kind — I take the ex- amples almost at random from the Moscow Gazette of 1801: *'To BE SOLD, three coachmen, well-trained and handsome; and two girls, the one eighteen and the other fifteen years of age, both of them good- looking and well acquainted with various kinds of handiwork.
