Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of a Russian Governor Urussov withdrew from the cabinet, and was elected by a large majority of his constituents to the first Duma. His conduct in the Duma was noted for its frankness and broad democracy, and freedom from narrow party affiliations. His maiden speech may be regarded as the most notable address delivered before the first Duma. In this now celebrated utterance on the pogroms,1 he declared that one must perceive in them a uniform system of attacks carefully planned by the government as a matter of policy. Since that utterance events have demon strated that the several ministries, and the inner court circles are the active instigators of the pogroms by means of the organiza tions of the so-called True Russian Men. These men and their supporters at the court were designated by Urussov, in his speech on the Byelostok massacres, as watchmen and police men by education and pogromists by conviction.
