I question whether AR's reports from Russia demonstrated Bolshevik leanings. They demonstrated Bolshevik SYMPATHIES, at least at first, and indeed in its first flush the Russian Revolution displayed a great deal with which it would be easy to sympathise. But it soon turned sour and AR soon seems to have become disillusioned.
But all the evidence today seems to confirm what AR said at the time - that he was personally apolitical.
