Russian Revolt Grows From Hard Times Across Nation
Reports from Stockholm in March describe Russian peasants near Moscow selling a horse for three boxes of matches or a kilo of salt amid fuel and food shortages. Observers link the crisis to a March counter-revolution, citing soviet inefficiency, bolshevist rifts, and disrupted transport as drivers. The unrest follows friction within leadership, with unions pushing democratization and clashes over whether to nationalize or keep unions independent. Coal shipments from Donetz decline, rail delivery falters, and fuel shortages halt rail traffic, with little sign of improvement unless naptha from Baku can reach central Russia.
