About This Book
The author continues a personal account of time spent in revolutionary Russia, extending earlier memoirs with twelve recovered chapters that document encounters with anarchists, prisoners, and exiles and detail repression, censorship, and betrayals by Bolshevik authorities. She recounts investigative trips collecting documents and testimonies, struggles with hunger and the presence of idealistic foreign visitors, and a moral dilemma about exposing facts that might aid foreign enemies. Interwoven analysis contrasts the grassroots revolutionary impulse with the centralized Communist state, arguing that party rule was undermining popular revolution.
