Summary "My Further Disillusionment in Russia" by Emma Goldman is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a continuation of Goldman's reflections on her experiences in revolutionary Russia, following her earlier book "My Disillusionment in Russia." The author, an outspoken anarchist and social activist, delves into the grim realities of life under Bolshevik rule, expressing a sense of betrayal as the ideals of the revolution she once supported dissolve into authoritarianism and oppression. The opening of the narrative describes Goldman’s return to Odessa after a challenging journey filled with delays and encounters with the local populace. As she navigates through the towns, she observes the stark contrast between abundant food supplies available and the pervasive poverty affecting the people, particularly the Jewish community in the region. Goldman details her interactions with local officials and citizens, highlighting a general atmosphere of disillusionment and sabotage within Soviet institutions. This sets the tone for her subsequent reflections on the broader implications of the Bolshevik regime and her evolving views on the revolution, indicating a deeper exploration of political disillusionment that characterizes the entire volume.
