Esmonde Higgins In The Soviet Union, Terry Irving
Esmonde Higgins In The Soviet Union, Terry Irving
Terence H Irving, Dr (Terry)
Esmonde Higgins visited the Soviet Union in 1920 and became a Communist, and in 1928 and began a process of disengagement from Communism. This chapter explores his reactions to the Soviet Union during those visits, in particular how he projected onto the Soviet system his own imagined world of socialist feelings. Back in Australia it was the bureaucratic and ruthless style of the party's leadership that cured him of his sentimentality about Communism and the Soviet system.
