Abstract
The two basic interpretations of the period February-October 1917 have been in conflict for generations. According to the bolshevik interpretation the Provisional Government expressed the interests of the bourgeoisie, including the petty one — in this way the share of the socialist parties in its working can be “explained”. According to the social-democratic interpretation it was a transitory period when, however, the socialist parties were playing more and more of a significant role in making the policy of the partial changes that after a longer time inevitably would lead to Socialism, if the brutal bolshevik breakthrough would not disturb that. The thesis of this chapter is that both interpretations are entirely false.
