About “My Disillusionment in Russia”
My Disillusionment in Russia is a 1923 memoir by Emma Goldman, published by Doubleday, Page & Co. It is based on a longer manuscript titled "My Two Years in Russia," which details her experiences in Russia from 1920 to 1921. The book covers events following the 1917 Russian Revolution, including the Kronstadt rebellion. Goldman, who had long been critical of the Bolshevik government, viewed the rebellion as a turning point. She described the Bolshevik state as oppressive, undermining revolutionary efforts and suppressing independent thought. The work reflects her growing disillusionment with the direction of the revolution. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
