What reading level is The Russian Revolt Its Causes Condition And Prospects book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was the same old issue that Peter now revived with a thousand aggravations. Just as merely superficial appearances failed to explain the quarrel between Nikon and the Old Believers, so there was a deeper meaning in the new dispute than any that could be drawn from the outer aspects of a petty squabble between the advo- cates of Slav institutions and the partisans of west European civilization. In the one as in the other case the popular revolt was against authority and all that it represente...d ; against centralization, against beaurocracy, against un- due tax-gathering ; against, in fine, the com- bined burdens of an ecclesiastically and auto- cratically governed state.
Jealous of every authority save that of the Tsar, Peter took early steps to secure the field of sovereignty wholly to himself. To the popu- lar resistance he opposed the inquisitions and barbarities of a secret tribunal. The privileges of the Little Russians he struck down by abol- ishing their hetmanate. By a series of terrible massacres he broke the power of the stryeltsy.
