The Russian Press on the Causes and Sources of World War I (August, 1914)
From mid-August 1914 the Russian press (newspapers «Russkoe Slovo», «Russkie Vedomosti», «Novoe Vremya» and others) began to pay greatest attention to Germany’s political history, sources of German militarism, ethnic and even anthropological genesis of the German people. These discussions revealed serious discrepancies between the liberal and nationalistic press, but the Kaiser and his «clique» still appeared the adepts and instigators of «Germanism», «Prussianness» and «German beastly spirit».
