What disappointed Kropotkin about the Russian Revolution?

  • The Bolshevik state

  • The fall of the Tsar

  • The lack of a communist society

  • The loss of aristocracy

Answer

The Bolshevik state disappointed Kropotkin as it deviated from his anarchist ideals. He envisioned a decentralized, self-governing society, whereas the Bolsheviks established a centralized, authoritarian government. Kropotkin criticized the suppression of political dissent, the lack of workers' control over the means of production, and the rise of a new bureaucratic elite.
