Excerpt from Siberia as It Is
Me, Of all the world! Anybody who has ever heard Of me knows that I am a thorough Russian, a staunch believer in Greek orthodoxy, in autocracy and nationalism, convinced Of the grand future Of Russia as of my own existence, and a prison directress to boot! In fact, never paying the homage of hypocrisy in disguising my real self, I represent all that the English people have the greatest dislike to.
