Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Aspects of the Russian Revolution The five weeks that the Belgian Socialist Mission spent in Russia allowed of our seeing much and questioning many persons. We visited the Workmen's and Soldiers' Committees, as well as the Ministers, Social ists as well as Cadets. We met the represen tatives of all the different political opinions from Polish nationalists to the anarchists installed in the Villa Dournovo. In Petro grad, as in Moscow and Kieff, we saw the Labour Organizations, interviewed members of the Belgian colony and the leaders of Employers Associations. We came into contact with the masses - we must have spoken to at least a hundred thousand persons - as well as their leaders. We listened to the pessimists as well as to the optimists. We had an opportunity of observing the enormous difficulties existing in Russia to-day. But we never lost sight of the many reasons that, in spite of every thing, justified young democratic Russia's belief in her future.
