Russian Anarchists

The book delves into the evolution of the anarchist movement, beginning with its 19th-century Russian roots and key figures like Bakunin and Kropotkin. It highlights the movement's pivotal role during the 1905 and 1917 Social Democratic Revolutions, juxtaposed with its decline post-Bolshevik Revolution. The author examines the anarchists' relationship with the Bolsheviks, emphasizing their warnings against the Marxist "dictatorship of the proletariat" and the shift from revolutionary idealism to authoritarian repression.
