My Disillusionment in Russia is a political memoir written by the famous American anarchist
Emma Goldman . Originally published in 1923, it reflects on Goldman’s time in Soviet Russia, where she lived from 1920 to 1921 after being deported from the United States. Initially supportive of that country’s October Revolution that brought the Bolsheviks to power, Goldman changed her opinion in the wake of the Kronstadt rebellion; she denounced the Soviet Union for its violent repression of independent voices.
Emma Goldman (June 27, 1869 – May 14, 1940) was a Lithuanian-born anarchist revolutionary, political activist, and writer. She played a pivotal role in the development of anarchist political philosophy in North America and Europe in the first half of the 20th century.
