Well 's statement that about 95% of Russian country houses were destroyed; it's here; I am currently reading this book (which is far more scholarly and small print) than my usual bed-time reading - it's excellent. I haven't reached the page that states 95% yet, but when I do, I'll reff it properly. Ghirla, you need to read this book, it's the best and most balanced on the Revolution I've ever read. It's opened my eyes completely.    (talk) "
