The Practice and Theory of Bolshevism

Set against the profound transformation brought by the Russian Revolution the work acknowledges the strong idealistic drive of Bolshevism to achieve Communism while critically examining the coercive methods and practical limitations that emerge in its implementation revealing how revolutionary ideology becomes distorted and conflicted in real society and drawing on Russell’s direct observations in Russia to portray a coexistence of hope and hardship while questioning how such ideology affects human freedom and social stability and ultimately highlighting the dangers of fanatic belief and the broader lessons that societies must learn from revolutionary movements.
