 * The allusion to the language of the Kiovian peasants is more to the purpose; and, if the fact be exactly as Mr Szyrma wishes his readers to understand it, it is a weighty one. If the Kiovian movements have been of sufficient magnitude to be called a revolt, if they have been purely Kiovian instead of more than half Polish, and, above all, if the Kiovian peasants have not only called the Great Russians Moscovites, but used the term with the sense given to it by Mr Szyrma, the details of the transaction would give a better answer to my main argument than all that has been written against it. But can any one of the three foregoing conditions be verified? I think not. Kiov, as is well known, is the old metropolis, and, in many respects, preserves a metropolitan character at the present moment. The extent to which Moscow has superseded it has always been a cause of jealousy. When a Kiovian talks of a Moscovite he simply means a man of Moscow—the opposition capital.
