A people's tragedy - 1912 Russia, Against the nobles

"New militant assertiveness and impatience with the nobles was reflected in village songs, such as this one from 1912:
At night I strut around, And rich men don't get in my way. Just let some rich guy try, And I'll screw his head on upside-down."


Poets Blok and Belyi portrayed Russia after 1905 as an active and unstable volcano.
