            <description><![CDATA[It is true now: for weeks there has been a rumor of a massacre in the colonist settlement about one hundred and fifty miles west of the Dnieper river. Yes, I had the list in my hand, the list of all those who fell in that carnage. And what did I see? I cannot grasp it as I pass over the long list of…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[We arc strangers in this country. He who did not know that before the war has learned this lesson a thousandfold during and after the war. Our Russian neighbors look upon us as upon cursed and damned “Nyemtze” who, in their land, have become wealthy. They completely ignore the fact that our ancestors, one hundred and twenty years ago, had been invited to settle…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[All is dark again! Our hope is gone. Between those brother colonists and us a fighting front line has been established. The armies of General Wrangel and the armies of the Bolsheviks continue their fight there. This is civil war. We are living in complete isolation. The trains do not come, the mail does not arrive, the telegraph does not work. By the way,…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Linen from Tauria! Grown-up men show a childlike joy over a shirt, although it is used and mended; men who before never cared about their clothes and who always had plenty of them. What a change! How much value do we attach now to an old shirt, worn and washed many times! And we would be mighty glad if every one of us had…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The colonists in the Berdyansk district have sent a transport of flour and lard. We received only a part of the provisions sent. About half of them have been “confiscated” by some “Black Authorities.” We call those robbers, or Anarchists. A portion, however, has actually arrived. And surely, the givers will not stop continuing support on account of this misfortune—for what has been sent…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[By the thousands the Bolshevik troops are passing through our place. Most of the time they make a stay here. They, too, have no pity, even though we tell them we have no bread. Hungry soldiers do not deal gently. They have to have food even when they eat our last bread. More than ninety per cent of our population here went through the…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Every day the sun comes out friendlier. We are moving toward spring. But up to the end of April the sick-rooms must be heated. We are so sensitive toward cold. The trees are almost all cut off. What shall we do? It is such a barbarity! How many years it will take for new trees to grow up! There are no woods in the…]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The process of physical recuperation is very slow. It is no wonder. During convalescence the body demands, after a long time of fasting, double and triple rations. That is the reason why all who were sick, in meeting each other complain about their unappeasable hunger and praise the good old times when bread, meat, eggs, and milk were in abundance. Finally one gets crazy…]]></description>

The temperature was rising, and there were all the symptoms of inflammation of the lungs, especially there were those vehement pains which put one out of breath. Today, however, I feel better. I even got out of bed. I am…]]></description>
