About the book
"My Disillusionment in Russia" by Emma Goldman is a book published in 1923. Based on Goldman's eyewitness account of Russia from 1920 to 1921, it chronicles events following the Russian Revolution and the Kronstadt rebellion. The work presents a passionate left-wing critique of the Bolshevik Revolution, Lenin's New Economic Policy, and Marxian theory itself. Goldman's complete manuscript was initially published incompletely, with the final twelve chapters missing—portions she considered the book's most vital elements.
