Bolshevik Myth

The Bolshevik Myth is a diary by Alexander Berkman, written between 1920 and 1922, detailing his experiences in Soviet Russia following the 1917 Russian Revolution. Initially enthusiastic about the Bolshevik regime, Berkman documents his growing disillusionment with their suppression of political dissent. This work provides a critical perspective on the early years of Bolshevism and is significant for its firsthand account of revolutionary ideals clashing with reality.
