"Through Bolshevik Russia" by Mrs. Philip Snowden is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book centers around the author's observations and experiences during her six-week visit to Russia as part of a British Labour Delegation amidst the tumult of the Bolshevik Revolution. It explores the social, economic, and political conditions of Russia under Bolshevik rule, emphasizing the suffering of the Russian people. The opening of the work sets the stage for Snowden's critical examination of Bolshevik Russia, as she underscores the profound suffering endured by the populace due to war and famine. She conveys her mission to understand the truths of the Russian experience, presenting observations about the stark contrasts between the lavish lifestyles of some and the dire poverty of many. The narrative opens with a focus on the hunger and disease plaguing the country, presenting a poignant picture of suffering that she witnessed firsthand, thereby establishing a foundation for her broader exploration of Bolshevik policies and their impact on society.
