Red Russia described through a travel letter from Taheiho
The letter from Taheiho recounts a harsh coastal and inland journey through Russia Asia in December. The writer details cold 25 degree weather, packs in a Packard, and mentions official praise for district management. He paints a bleak view of Blazovistchensk with no gold reserves, rationed meat, devalued money, and a collapsing Petrograd infrastructure. The writer condemns Russian morals, laments governance, and predicts a long-lasting political malaise, with a hint of ongoing education and religious reform needs.
