What reading level is The Land of Riddles Russia of to Day book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I therefore begin with the more dif- ficult. A minister of public instruction — 'lucus a non lucendo' — has here a very difficult post when he is an honest man and realty desires to live up to his duties. For what he is really asked to do is, that he do not enlighten the people, that he do nothing for education, that he merely pretend ac- tivity. We need no education; we need obedience. That, of course, is not said to the Czar, who really believes that he s being served honestly. But in the end... it amounts to this, that only one man rules here, the minister of the interior and chief of the secret police, and that all the other ministers must dance to his music. I make exception here, to a certain extent, of the ministers of war and of finance. But if in any case there be a possibility of conflict between any other department and the omnipo- tent police ministry, that other department must subordinate itself to the rule of the latter. For von Plehve stands guard over the security of the empire.
