Russia in the Shadows by H. G. Wells
"Russia in the Shadows" by H. G. Wells is a book published in 1921. Based on articles from Wells's 1920 visit to Russia, it portrays a nation recovering from complete social collapse. Wells interviews Lenin at the Kremlin and observes the Bolsheviks' rise amid widespread chaos. While rejecting Marxism, he argues the West must understand and engage with the Communist experiment, warning that Russia's fate could threaten Western civilization itself. (This is
