There was to be no real alleviation of his situation when he reached Sevastopol. Whilst he was there he was visited by emissaries of the various groups involved in plans for a coup, who told him openly what they were plotting. They were anxious both to gauge his reaction, and to learn what effect The White Generals he thought a revolution would be likely to have on the front line. Alekseev replied that the consequences could only be harmful to the army, and strongly urged that the country should not be committed to a course of action that, in his opinion, would rapidly prove disastrous.
-The White Generals, Richard Luckett
"A conservative must always be progressive. Tradition and principles are basic values,but conservatism implies their application to changing circum-stances. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, and at an ever increasing speed in the first half of our century, we have witnessed a gigantic and fundamental conflict. Advances in tech-nique have tended to mechanize the human being, and individuality is in constant danger of becoming submerged in this vast levelling process. The threat to the body politic has increased with the con-version of individuals into 'the masses' a Marxist weapon in the struggle to overturn the capitalist system. Collectivist philosophies, combined with the materialist conception of history, proclaim the overthrow of those Christian principles which have provided for two thousand years the basis of the Western world's growth. The Moscow brand of Communism has already triumphed in most of Eastern Europe, and the whole process of regarding the State as the tool of the 'repressed working classes' has made great inroads in other countries. The problem has been to find some means of combating these forces."
