Everywhere, especially in France and England, social and religious
societies are being formed which are wholly alien to the world of
present-day politics, societies that derive their life from new sources
quite unknown to us and that grow and diffuse themselves without
fanfare. The people, the poor class, which without doubt constitutes
the greatest part of humanity; the class whose rights have already been
recognized in theory but which is nevertheless still despised for its
birth, for its ties with poverty and ignorance, as well as indeed with
actual slavery – this class, which constitutes the true people, is
everywhere assuming a threatening attitude and is beginning to count the
ranks of its enemy, far weaker in numbers than itself, and to demand
the actualization of the right already conceded to it by everyone. All
people and all men are filled with a kind of premonition, and everyone
whose vital organs are not paralyzed faces with shuddering expectation
the approaching future which will utter the redeeming word. Even in
Russia, the boundless snow-covered kingdom so little known, and which
perhaps also has a great future in store, even in Russia dark clouds are
gathering, heralding storm. Oh, the air is sultry and pregnant with lightning.
