recognition, trying , ostracism, represented the country’s most dramatic power struggle

A short-lived mutiny in Russia represented the country’s most dramatic power struggle in decades.

How a Rebellion in Russia Unfolded Over 36 Hours

Here are the key events, from 11 a.m. Friday to 11 p.m. Saturday.

RUSSIA DISPATCH

Yevgeny Prigozhin has played on one of Vladimir Putin’s worst fears: division and rebellion, with tanks on the streets.

This was a recognition that had never in the slightest manner entered into my mind, and it was hard for me to realize that I was to be honoured by a degree from the oldest and most renowned university in America. As I sat upon my veranda, with this letter in my hand, tears came into my eyes. My whole former life -- my life as a slave on the plantation, my work in the coal-mine, the times when I was without food and clothing, when I made my bed under a sidewalk, my struggles for an education, the trying days I had had at Tuskegee, days when I did not know where to turn for a dollar to continue the work there, the ostracism and sometimes oppression of my race, -- all this passed before me and nearly overcame me.

(思果 )這是我心裡從來沒有絲毫想到的對我的抬舉，這樣一座美國歷史最悠久，最著名的大學，把容譽學位送給我，是我難以想像的事情。 我坐在走廊上，手上拿著這封信，眼淚充滿了我的眼眶。 我以前的種種生活經歷－－我在大農場裡做奴隸，在煤礦裡做工人，那一段無衣無食的時，睡在木板鋪的行人道下面，為受教育的掙扎，特斯特基的艱苦的日子，有時為了繼續辦我的事業，我連一塊錢都不知那裡去找，我的同胞對我的排斥和壓制(此處翻譯不完全--hc)－－這一切都重上心頭，使我難以支持。
