Bell, dire Lewis Opens IFC Speeches About Russia "The West has far less knowl edge than it should have about Russia." With this statement, Dr. t A. R. Lewis, of the university his- I tory department, opened his talk to the International Relations club Monday afternoon in Flinn Hall. Dr. Lewis told of the early his tory and development of Russia from the days of wandering tribes, through the time of Ivan the Ter rible. "The influx of Swedes settling along the rivers of Russia in order to trade with the Orient was the basic cause of Russia's becoming a united country," Dr. Lewis said. "There were three groups of people which influenced Russia pro foundly," he continued. "They were the Swedes, who united the coun try, the inhabitants of the Byzan tine empire, who gave Russia many of their cultural patterns, and the Mongols, who brought in the element of ruthlessness and dis regard for human life. Under Ivan the Terrible, this ruthlessness reached a new high. He killed his own son, supposedly in the interest of the state." According to Dr. Lewis, these ideas brought in by the three groups of people have formed the Russian heritage for the most part. The Russian people have been iso lated from the rest of the world from earliest times and they have never known any other situation. Dr. Lewis' address was the first in a series on Russia. Professor Weinefelt will be the guest speaker at the next meeting of the Inter national Relations club, Monday, Feb. 27, in Flinn Hall. All students interested in international affairs are invited.
