About this audiobook

The Practice and Theory of Bolshevism is a work by Bertrand Russell dealing with the situation in Russia within a few years after the revolution and essential aspects of Bolshevik theory. The book is an excellent review of Communism in the early days of the Soviet Union. Russell is adherent to the communist idea, but points out some practical faults, which will be proven accurate in following years, leading to inevitable failure of the system. Thiscareful study provides a further insight to the movement in Russia, and a better understanding of Bolshevism.
