Russia Like Mexico, Says French Diplomat
A French diplomat, once with the Petrograd embassy, told a small American group in Paris that Russia lacks self-government and that its leaders are less versed in statecraft than Mexico’s Carranza era officials. He noted Russians are more Oriental than European and that government centers on personality rather than principle. He contrasted Mexican peasants as followers of Villistas, Carrancistas, and Zapatistas rather than fighting for concrete political aims.
