- Abstract
- The article analyzes the ideas that received the greatest popularity and actively participated in determining the fate of the 1917 revolution. The main ideological orientations that reflected the face of political space at that time are revealed. The characteristics of the leading political parties – the Russian National Union, the Party “Union of 17 October”, the Party of People freedom, the Socialist-Revolutionaries, the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks – are described. Ideas are considered from the point of view of the cardinal problems of Russian society: attitude to the war, the needs and aspirations of the main classes of Russia – working class and peasantry. Accordinly, an analysis of the social base of each of these parties is given. It is shown that only the Bolsheviks could formulate slogans reflecting aspirations of the masses: “The peace – to the peoples”, “the factories – to the workers”, “the land – to the peasants”. It was these ideas that attracted the working class and the peasantry to side with the Bolsheviks, ensured transition of the main social strata of the people to their side and support of Bolshevik actions to seize and retain power, successful confrontation with other political forces and a victorious outcome of ensuing civil war.
