In many instances complexes of feeling, instincts, "residues" persist from one age to another, while...

"The alternative to Bolshevism, had it failed to survive the ordeal of civil war, would not have been ... a Constituent Assembly, elected according to the most modern rules of equal suffrage and proportional representation, but a military dictator, a Kolchak or a Denikin, riding into Moscow on a white horse to the accompaniment of the clanging bells of the old capital's hundreds of churches...
