- Description
- What impact did Bolshevist rule have on Emma Goldmans's perception of the Russian Revolutions of 1917 and why did she change her mind, going from defending the Russian Revolution to becoming a crusader against Bolshevism? Emma Goldman (1869-1940), a Russian-born American anarchist was one of the intellectuals, whose admiration for the revolution turned into frustration about its corruption. This publication discusses her evolving perception of the revolution between 1917 and the early 1920s.
