In the winter of 1917, following the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II on 2 March and the declaration of a Republic, Russian anarchists in North America were ecstatic, including Volin (Vsavolod Mikhailovich Eikhenbaum) and Maksim Raevskii, editors of the New York-based newspaper Golos Truda (Voice of Labour).

After Count Raevskii's premature death (he was in his thirties), his family sent three thousand golden ducats for a memorial chapel to be erected in his honor.
This brings Prousis to a fuller consideration of literary responses to the Greek revolt, particularly those of the Decembrist civicism of Fedor Glinka, Vladimir Raevskii, and the foremost citizen-poet, Kondratii Ryleev.
