Per Wikipedia, Albert Rhys Williams (September 28, 1883 – February 27, 1962), Commonly Known By His Middle Name, Pronounced "Reece," Was An American Journalist, Labor Organizer, And Publicist. He Is Most Famous For Writing Memoirs In Favor Of The 1917 October Revolution In Russia: He Had Been Both A Witness And A Participant. Williams Worked For The 1908 Presidential Campaign Of Socialist Eugene Debs. Then, Williams Returned To His Main Profession As A Minister Of The Maverick Square Congregational Church In East Boston (1908 To 1914). However He Did Not Abandon The Labor And Social Issues At All. In 1912, Williams Raised Money And Spoke Up For The Workers During The 1912 Textile Strike In Lawrence, Massachusetts. Williams First Met John Reed, Whose Acquaintance Played A Role In His Upcoming Interest In Russia And Then His Trip To This Far Overseas Country. Williams First Came Into Contact With The Bolsheviks In 1917 As A Correspondent For The New York Post. He Attended The Storming Of The Winter Palace, Met And Became Close Friends With Vladimir Lenin, And Stayed In The Country Until 1918. Upon His Return To The United States, He Worked As A Pro-Soviet And Communist Activist.[1] Williams Was A Vocal Opponent Of The Allied Intervention In The Russian Civil War And Deployment Of American Troops On Russian Soil, Stating, "I Never Ceased To Feel Shame For The Role My Country Played In This Joint Effort To Strangle Bolshevism In Its Cradle And Socialism For Good And All."[2] He Eventually Volunteered For Service In The Red Army, And Was Placed In Charge Of Organizing An International Legion. Williams Wrote Of This, "If I Helped In Some Small Way To Mitigate The Guilt Of Being An American, I Am Satisfied."[3] Williams Lived On And Off In Russia, First Moving There At The Outbreak Of The Russian Civil War And Last Leaving Sometime After Marrying Lucita Squier In 1923, Thereafter Only Returning To Visit In 1930, 1937, And 1959.[2] During His Period Of Relations With The Soviets, He Authored A Number Of Related Books And Papers.[3] Though Later Personally Critical Of Joseph Stalin, He Refused To Publicly Criticize The Union Itself, And Maintained A Pro-Soviet Stance For The Rest Of His Life.[4] Before His Death, Williams Wrote, "If I Have Remained True To The Revolution And Still Look Forward To The Final Triumph Of Socialism In The World, It Is Because, Like Lenin, I Do Believe In The Essential Goodness Of Man." An Odd And In Many Views A Monumentally Stupid Conclusion From Intimate And Long-Standing Knowledge Of Soviet Treatment Of Anyone Who Disagreed With The Government Program Or Criticized Its Leaders.…
