    About this ebook

    "The Land of Riddles (Russia of To-day)" by Hugo Ganz is meant to be an unbiased description of the real state of affairs in Russia at the beginning of the 1900s. The stories in this book are all a result of a special visit to Russia by Mr. Hugo Ganz, the well-known writer of Vienna. Though some of the articles appeared in other publications, this is the first time they're collected together in one place.
