The Practice and Theory of Bolshevism

In "The Practice and Theory of Bolshevism," Bertrand Russell shares his insights following a 1920 visit to Soviet Russia, exploring the realities of Bolshevik ideology and governance. The audiobook delves into various aspects of life in Russia under Bolshevism, including the hopes surrounding the movement, its key figures like Lenin and Trotsky, and the stark contrasts between theory and practice in areas such as art, education, and daily life.
