They treat of the fall and rise of institutions, of the new State and its structure, of constitutions and laws - of the exclusively external manifestations, which nearly make one forget the living millions who continue to exist, to be, under all changing conditions. Many books have been published about that tremendous social upheaval, but seldom do they strike its true keynote. This inner life of revolution, which is its sole meaning, has almost entirely been neglected by writers on the Russian Revolution. The typical, the familiar, have disappeared dissolved is the coherence and interrelation of the parts that formerly constituted one whole. Existence is forced into uncharted channels every action demands self-reliance every detail calls for new, independent decision. The habitual, measured step of existence is interrupted, accustomed criterions become inoperative, former precedents are void. To them revolution is not a mere change of externals: it implies the complete dislocation of life, the shattering of dominant traditions, the annulment of accepted standards. Back of revolution are the millions of living humans who embody its inner spirit, who feel, think, and have their being in it.

The abolition of the established - politically and economically, socially and ethically - the attempt to replace it with something different, is the reflex of man’s changed needs, of the awakened consciousness of the people. In this dynamic process the Russian Revolution has gone further than any previous revolution. It bursts the molds which constrict him the more solidified they become, and the more Life ever striving forward leaves them. Revolution breaks the social forms grown too narrow for man.
