| Summary | "My Disillusionment in Russia" by Emma Goldman is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book illustrates Goldman's firsthand experiences and observations during her time in Soviet Russia following the revolution of 1917, emphasizing her initial hopes versus the stark realities she faced. It provides a critical examination of the Bolshevik regime and reflects on the disillusionment that unfolds as Goldman engages with both the people and the political climate of the time. At the start of the book, Goldman recounts her deportation from America due to her political activism, arriving in a Russia she had long idolized as a beacon of revolutionary change. Initially filled with hope, she describes her excitement to witness Russia’s revolutionary reconstruction only to find a country marred by oppression and despair. As she navigates her surroundings, Goldman reflects on her growing discontent with the authoritarian nature of Bolshevik rule, particularly the betrayal of the original revolutionary spirit by those in power. This opening portion sets the stage for her profound critique of the regime, revealing her inner turmoil as she struggles to reconcile her ideals with the grim reality of life in post-revolutionary Russia.
