Abstract

There are a lot of high-quality theoretical and concrete-historical studies in the modern Russian-language "revolutionary" historiography. The revolutionary events of 1917 constantly attracted the attention of historians and politicians. However, the official state position towards the revolution was sounded with caution and not entirely definitely in the Russian Federation. So, the “centenary” is a good occasion for analyzing the concepts and views proposed by the professional historical community in this social-political context. One of the most debated issues are common and opposite components of February and October, analysis of the relationship between the stages of the revolutionary process, periodization of the revolution. The paper considers the attitude to this complex of issues in the contemporary Russian-language historiography. The role and place of historical studies in the modern Russian reflection on the causes of revolution, its driving forces, progress and results are analyzed.
