What reading level is The Story of Russia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The beard was doomed by the czar. He could not play barber to all his subjects, but he imposed a heavy tax upon unshaven faces. Owners of beards paid from thirty to one hundred rubles, and raoujiks had to pay two pence for theirs every time they entered a city or town.
The reform which had the most lasting influence upon Russia, was the abolition of the landed nobility as a separate class. They would be known as " tchin " or gentlemen, and any one who entered the service of the government, rega...rdless of birth, was at once entitled to be classed among the tchinovnik. From that time the terms gentleman and officer, became synonymous. Every service, civil, military, naval, or ecclesiastic, was divided into fourteen grades. The lowest grade in the civil ser- vice was held by the registrar of a college, the highest by the Chancellor of the Empire ; the cornet was at the bottom, the field marshal at the top in the army ; and the deacon in a church was fourteen degrees removed from the Patriarch, — ^but all were tchin.
