What reading level is The Knout And the Russians Or the Muscovite Empire the Czar And His People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The sentinels are relieved every hour, and, although muffled up in the thick furred skins of bears or wolves, it frequently happens that some of them perish. Whenever the Czar passes before a post, all the platoon on duty turn out in full uniform, and present arms, while the drums beat a salute. TV o cold kills one or two men ; but that is a matter of no con- sequence, since discipline requires it. The soldiers who are scattered singly about the city stop and uncover before the Emperor ; the co...ld cleaves their skulls, but that, too, is a matter of no consequence ; discipline re- serves some hundred blows with the stick for any one who is deficient in politeness towards a superior. II. When the cold sinks below thirty-four degrees, the theatres are shut and parties and balls put off. Who would dare to brave such weather? Coachmen are frozen on their boxes, and postilions in their saddles, from which they are lifted stiff and icy. Every winter there are thousands of accidents of this description ; they are so frequent that no one pays any attention to them.
