Six Red Months in Russia by Louise Bryant
Louise Bryant recounts Kronstadt sailors enforcing prohibition in Petrograd during the Russian upheaval. She notes booze sweeps, executions for thieves, and the sailors’ policing of markets and cellars while aiding the revolution through shortages, bread drives, and support for workers. She highlights women leadership in Kronstadt and contrasts Russian disorder with reformist zeal.
