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? The Russian Revolution changed the world and
determined the history of the 20th century as the French Revolution
had determined the history of the 19th century. Left-wing
intellectuals around the world greeted the February Revolution with
enthusiasm as their hope for a new world and social order and the
end of capitalism seemed close. However, the joy did not last long
as the ideals of February 1917 were replaced by the realities of
October 1917 and Lenin crushed the revolution during the following
Civil War. Emma Goldman, a famous Russian-born American anarchist
was one of the intellectuals, whose admiration for the revolution
turned into frustration about its corruption. Emma Goldman and the
Russian Revolution discusses her evolving perception of the
revolution between 1917 and the early 1920s. The analysis of such
an intellectual transformation process, provides a case study of
intellectual and revolutionary history alike, adding a closer
reading to the research about the famous American anarchist, Emma
Goldman, her transnational life and her role as a revolutionary
intellectual.
