Book Description
Excerpt from Heroes and Heroines of Russia: Builders of a New Commonwealth "Whenever any form of government becomes destructive, it is the right, it is the duty, of the people to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security." American Declaration of Independence, 1776. "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God." Inscription on an old cannon. "Great revolutions, whatever may be their causes, are not lightly made, and are not concluded with precipitation." B. Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield. "Insurrection of thought always precedes insurrection of arms." "Revolutions are not made, they come." "Revolutions never go backward." Wendell Phillips, "Our government is founded on the right of revolution. The principle is as true in St. Petersburg and Moscow in 1905 as it was in Boston and Philadelphia in 1776." Henry B. Blackwell, at a meeting in Boston, January 31st, 1905, addressed by Catherine Breshkovskaya. "I hope that He Who gave Christ to the world and Washington to America, Who has so often sent the providential man - or the providential woman, like Deborah and Joan of Arc - will send a great loader to the Russian people." Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, at the same meeting. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
In the darkest of times... they shone brighter than the stars. Many are the stories of that mysterious land of Russia. Stories of heroes who gave their lives for God, Tsar, and country, and who left legacies that many a young child aspired to. Of course, so many of those stories are legends, a lifeline for people who had lost everything, and who preferred to remember a semi-fictional history that left out some of the more disturbing details. But in spite of history's dark reality, you still have bright lights appearing in unexpected places—heroes and heroines whose lives read like adventure tales, whose fates are sometimes stranger than fiction. This little book is a glimpse into the world of that Russia— a world filled with complex characters living out difficult lives in sometimes impossible circumstances. But more often than not, these heroes and heroines rose above all difficulties to become truly inspiring. In our own chaotic time, their stories are worthy of being retold again and again. If you want to be inspired by stories of true heroism in dark times, buy Heroes for All Time today!
