Martyrs Of Russia (1851)

The Martyrs of Russia is a historical book by Jules Michelet, first published in 1851. The book is a detailed account of the persecution and suffering of the Russian people under the reign of Tsar Nicholas I. The author highlights the brutal tactics employed by the Tsarist regime to suppress dissent and maintain control over the population, including the use of secret police, censorship, and forced labor camps. The book also chronicles the heroic resistance of the Russian people, particularly the Decembrist uprising of 1825 and the Polish insurrection of 1830. Michelet's work is a powerful indictment of tyranny and oppression, and a tribute to the courage and resilience of those who fought for freedom and justice in Russia. It is a seminal work of 19th-century European history and remains a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in the history of Russia and the struggle for human rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
