About this book

In the aftermath of the 1917 revolution, a wave of optimism swept through Russia, promising a new era of freedom and equality. However, in "My Disillusionment in Russia," Emma Goldman unveils the stark contrast between revolutionary ideals and the oppressive realities that emerged. Through her keen observations, Goldman critiques the suppression of individual liberties and the betrayal of the very principles of liberty and justice she once championed. This compelling narrative serves as both a personal memoir and a political commentary, making it essential reading for students, civic activists, and historians alike. Delve into Goldman's poignant reflections on the unfulfilled dreams of a nation and the chilling implications for human rights.
