In 1920 Russell traveled to Russia with a British delegation and met Lenin. Unlike many of his companions, he was disturbed by Lenin’s personality and the brutal and cultish aspects of Bolshevism—as well as by the executioners’ rifle shots, heard late at night. Here is the first-hand account of a clear thinker’s disillusionment.
