Summary "The Practice and Theory of Bolshevism" by Bertrand Russell is a political and philosophical analysis written in the early 20th century. The work evaluates the implications and realities of Bolshevism following the Russian Revolution, examining its potential future impact on society and governance. Russell’s insights explore the interplay of ideology and practical application within the Bolshevik regime, underscoring his skepticism about the long-term viability of their methods. At the start of the book, Bertrand Russell presents a preface highlighting the profound significance of the Russian Revolution in changing societal structures and beliefs. He articulates a dual perspective: while he admires the heroic efforts of Bolshevism to realize Communism, he is critical of its methods and notes the dangers they pose for achieving a stable society. The opening section outlines his impressions of Russia during his visit, showcasing a contrast between the hopes instilled by the Bolshevik ideology and the harsh realities faced by its citizens. Russell emphasizes the need for understanding the core motivations behind the revolution while also addressing the potential lessons to be learned regarding the dangers of fanaticism and dogmatic belief that often accompany revolutionary movements.
