** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BLAKESLEE SCRAPBOOK (HIS TRIP TO RUSSIA)
The piece by Thomas Riha, "Constitutional Developments in
Russia" in Russia Under the Last Czar, provides an excellent
overview of historical developments in Russia between 1895 and
1920. The main focus was on the development of, and subsequent
attempts to dissolve and reform the Duma, which was Russia's
equivalent to Parliment during that time period. Dr. Blakeslee's
visit to Russia occurred soon after the Czar had dissolved the
first Duma, due to a "radicalization" which had taken place
within it, which threatened the land-holding classes. The
"radical" elements of the first Duma had fled to Viborg, Finland,
and issued the "Viborg Manifesto" which blasted the Czar for his
action and declared itself the rightful governing body.
Dr. Blakeslee was arrested in Russia on the suspicion that
he was a spy. Blakeslee was found with the "Viborg Manifesto" in
his possession. Some of the articles concerning his visit
outline his discussions with officials representing the
government paper, which show official opinion of the so-called
'revolutionists.'
