At the time of the Revolution, dogs howled day and night all over Russia.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Russian revolution is one of history's car wrecks. We do know the ending, but we continue to watch. It expresses aspects of human nature we find unacceptable.
To this day I don't ever remember seeing a pet inside Moscow, I never saw anyone carrying a dog, or leading a dog. Err I finally saw a, a pet some years later in Kiev, so I thought that life must have been, different.
The dogs did bark, the children screamed, Up flew the windows all; And every soul bawled out, Well done! As loud as he could bawl.
Like almost everything else from the West, the Romantic Revolution arrived late in Russia.
The Russian revolution was to an unprecedented degree the cause of the proletariat of the whole world becoming more revolutionary.
We shall see that at which dogs howl in the dark, and that at which cats prick up their ears after midnight.
Every dogma has its day.
The revolution in Russia was victorious with the help of the poor peasants. This should always be borne in mind here in Western Europe and all the world over. But the workers in Western Europe stand alone: this should never be forgotten in Russia.
I've said it before: War brings out the patriotic bullies. In World War I, they went around kicking dachshunds on the grounds that dachshunds were 'German dogs.' They did not, however, go around kicking German shepherds.
There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.
