Abstract

In 2017 was celebrated the centenary of the great Russian revolution. The article is devoted to analysis of the influence of revolutionary events on the fate of young Russians in 1917, and as a result subsequent to the revolution events. In historical perspective, examines the consequences of hunger in the Russian Empire in the late 20th century in the Soviet Russia in 1920-1930-ies. Hunger initial period of the Soviet history of our state is interpreted by the authors as the tragic consequences of the 1917 revolution and pursued after her Bolshevik policy. The authors come to the conclusion that the famine in the Saratov Volga Region 1921-1923 caused by the combined effect of objective adverse natural conditions, which was quite typical for the climatic characteristics of the area as a zone of risky agriculture, especially in the province. Caused by objective reasons, hunger aggravated by subjective causes the Civil war and the policy of "war communism" food surplus. Comparing the data of the two censuses of population, 1926 and 1937, the authors come to the conclusion that most victims in the USSR Saratov oblast, Kazakh ASSR, and ASSR of the Volga Germans, i.e. actually the Saratov Volga Region is the region affected to the greatest extent of the famine of 1932-1933 inthe borders of modern Russia! The authors put forward a hypothesis about the time of the great Russian revolution Feb. 10, 1934, at the end of the XVII Congress of the CPSU(b), known to history as the "Congress of victors". The authors agree with the great Russian philosopher N. Berdyaev: "All revolutions ended responses. It is inevitable. It's the law".
