A sympathetic account of revolutionary Russia

Albert Rhys Williams’s account draws on his experience in Russia from June 1917 to August 1918, during the revolution’s upheavals. A pastor turned labor organiser and journalist, Williams wrote as a defender of the Soviet system; that perspective shapes his observations of the Bolshevik Party, daily life in Petrograd and the countryside, and the revolutionary future he envisioned. The book offers a historically situated view of events through the lens of a committed contemporary, making its perspective part of the subject as well as the account.

Book overview

Through the Russian Revolution by Albert Rhys-Williams, a Congregationalist pastor turned labor organiser and journalist, offers readers a first-hand account of the exciting and confusing events of the Russian revolution from June 1917 to August 1918.


Williams, a lifelong defender of the Soviet system, documented his first adventure in Russia at its most chaotic moments. There he formed a lasting impression of what he thought the Soviet system could offer to the world and dedicated the rest of his life to this cause. His account, while sympathetic, reveals to a modern audience the inner working of the Bolshevik Party, life in Petrograd and the countryside, and an optimistic vision of the revolutionary future.
