ACHIEVEMENTS AND FAILURES IN THE STUDY OF THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION OF 1917
Journal Title: Tractus aevorum: эволюция социокультурных и политических пространств - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
In this analysis of domestic historiography of the 1917 Revolution in Russia the author highlights the importance of mass popular protests in understanding the causes of this crucial event, while noting that this aspect has been unreasonably neglected by Russian historians since the early 1990s. She argues that both the character of the Revolution and the chances for a peaceful settlement of conflicts in Russian society depended on the policy of top state authorities, especially from 1916 forward.
