Excerpt from Russian Dissenters Uzov infers that Dissent flourished just the same, no matter whether the Government was strict or lenient; and that it did so proved that it is not engendered by temporary or transient causes, but is founded on deep cravings and satisfies daily spiritual needs of individuals. Yet neither Russian administration, nor Russian polite society understands thoroughly what sort of thing Dissent is; 4 and this not from want of facts accumulated by students, but from their onesidedness. By preference they have di rected their attention to the ceremonial peculiarities which distinguish dissent from orthodoxy, without remarking, nay rather, without wishing to remark, that the dissenters' out look is framed on quite other principles than those which underlie our present social structure.
