O ovoj e-knjizi

My Disillusionment in Russia is a book by Emma Goldman, published in 1923 by Doubleday, Page & Co. The book was based on a much longer manuscript entitled "My Two Years in Russia" which was an eyewitness account of events in Russia from 1920 to 1921 that ensued in the wake of the Russian Revolution of 1917 and which culminated in the Kronstadt rebellion. Long-concerned about developments with the Bolsheviks, Goldman described the rebellion as the "final wrench. I saw before me the Bolshevik State, formidable, crushing every constructive revolutionary effort, suppressing, debasing, and disintegrating everything".

O autoru

Emma Goldman (1869–1940) was a trailblazing anarchist, feminist, and political activist, known for her uncompromising stance on issues such as free speech, workers' rights, women's emancipation, and anti-authoritarianism. Born in Lithuania, she immigrated to the United States as a teenager, where she quickly became a prominent voice in radical circles. A gifted orator and prolific writer, Goldman challenged the political and social norms of her time, advocating for individual liberty and social equality, often at great personal risk.Goldman's activism led her to be arrested multiple times, particularly for her outspoken criticism of capitalism, militarism, and governmental oppression. She was also a staunch advocate for birth control and women's rights at a time when such topics were considered taboo. In 1919, amidst the Red Scare, she was deported from the U.S. to Soviet Russia, a move she initially embraced as an opportunity to witness the realization of socialist ideals. However, her experiences there left her deeply disillusioned as she encountered the oppressive nature of Bolshevik rule, leading her to vocally critique the authoritarianism she witnessed.Throughout her life, Goldman remained a passionate advocate for a society rooted in freedom and justice, rejecting all forms of tyranny—whether from the state, capitalism, or organized religion. Her writings and speeches continue to inspire activists around the world, making her one of the most significant and influential figures in the history of anarchism and radical thought.
