Six Red Months in Russia - Louise Bryant - Bog

"Socialism is here, whether we like it or not-just as woman suffrage is here-and it spreads with the years. In Russia the socialist state is an accomplished fact."
-Louise Bryant, Six Red Months in Russia
Six Red Months in Russia (1918) is a collection of articles Louise Bryant wrote about her first trip to Russia shortly after the Bolshevik revolution. Bryant's objective was to inform and enlighten American readers about the way socialism was being implemented in Russia and to encourage Americans to support the Bolshevik movement. Subsequent to the book's publication, Bryant testified before a Senate subcommittee in defense of the revolution and then went on a nationwide speaking tour to encourage public support of Bolshevik policies.
