consciousnesses, a transcending of interpersonal
space. And yet words are still the tools by which,
literally, men live or die. Levin's search for

the Elizabethan Age there were different social

in 1914. Tsar Nicholas II believed he had the
god-given right to rule over his country

the strongest institutions in Russia, The Orthodox
Church, The Army, and the peasant class. Even the
Tsar s opposition unwittingly aided him in
quashing all hope for democracy. While there were
some small democratic institutions, they only
helped reinforce the Tsar s belief that the people
could never govern them...
