Agrarian Prog . . . First Russian Revolution

Given the large size of The Agrarian Programme of Social-
Democracy in the First Russian Revolution, 1905-07, (605k) you can either download the entire file (if your computer has sufficient RAM and your browser can handle it -- for Internet Explorer 2 and Netscape 2 you need to allocate about 6MB) or you can download each of the two separate sections (at the bottom of the page) into which I divided the text for those with computers unable to accomodate such a large file. The following table of contents for The Agrarian Programme of Social-Democracy in the First Russian Revolution, 1905-07 will give you some idea of what is contained in each section. Links to the endnotes for the material in each of the two files are functional.
