Bolsheviks in Isolation: Loneliness and Autonomy in a Collectivist Society
Places limited and booking required on Eventbrite: seh.ac/emden
Most leaders of the Russian Revolution became communists by reading in quiet places, spent their youth in prisons and exile, settled down in family apartments, surrounded themselves with guards and fences, and ended their days in solitary confinement (before being shot in the back of the head, one at a time). The lecture will focus on the ideology and experience of isolation in the lives of Soviet communists.
