About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Practice and Theory of Bolshevism by Bertrand Russell. Read in English by Landon D. C. Elkind This book records Bertrand Russell's impressions of the new regime after a 1920 visit to Russia following the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, including his meetings with Lenin, Trostky, and Gorky. It includes a chapter that was authored by Dora Black, educational theorist and feminist author, and Russell's spouse. This chapter was unfortunately removed in the second edition, which was issued after Dora and Bertrand divorced. This recording is dedicated to my darling wife, Jill.
