In the year 1844 in Russia was born one of the most remarkable women of modern times. Her full name is Ekaterina Constantinovna Breshko-Breshkovskaya, but in America she is called Catherine Breshkovsky, and as such she will be known in these pages.
One significant meeting was addressed by a member of the Russian Duma and by one of Russia's oldest and sanest revolutionists; another by Madame Breshkovsky, who later languished a prisoner in the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul. In this wonderful procession of revolutionists, Prince Kropotkin, or, as he prefers to be called, Peter Kropotkin, was doubtless the most distinguished.
Catherine Breshkovsky, "the little grandmother of the Russian revolution," visited Massachusetts this year and addressed a number of meetings arranged by the suffragists, including a large one in Faneuil Hall. The convention was held in October, 1906, at Lowell in the Trinitarian Congregational Church.
Breshkovsky, were accused by the Bolsheviki of having been almost bribed by the capitalistic interests of America, England, and France.
But the revolution did not succeed, and it was not long before Russia was once more in the grip of a force even more deadly than that of the former Czar. The Bolshevists soon organized and drove Kerensky from power, and anarchy ruled throughout Russia. Catherine Breshkovsky was declared a public enemy by the Government of Lenine and Trotsky.
During the suffrage campaign in England this weapon was used for the double purpose of forcing the release of imprisoned militant suffragettes, and of compelling the British government to act. Among the demonstrations was a revival of the ancient Irish See In Russian and French Prisons, P. Kropotkin. For Russia's Freedom, by Ernest Poole,-An Interview with Breshkovsky.
But more often the demands of the strikers were won.. Breshkovsky tells of a strike by 17 women against outrage, which elicited the desired promises from the warden.
