Abstract

This article discusses the question of the historical legitimacy of the October Revolution. Was it an ar-bitrary act carried out behind the back of the people and that diverted Russia from its normal path of development toward a liberal democracy? That is the dominant position today in the histo-riography, one also supported by the Russian government. Or was rather it a popular revolution, with deep roots in Russian history and society?
