Who finished off Russia? Myths and truth about the Civil... Nikolai Starikov

The October Revolution became the greatest catastrophe in Russian history. In the fall of 1917, the thousand-year-old Russian state virtually ceased to exist. Soviet history began with a clean slate. How could this happen? Was this an accident - or the result of a sophisticated political game? An internal affair of Russia - or the result of external influence? Why was Grigory Rasputin killed? Why were the Bolsheviks able to seize power so easily? Who was behind them? Who unleashed it in Russia Civil War? Why did Lenin and Trotsky flood...

Who killed the Russian Empire?

Nikolay Starikov

Mighty and great Russia was destroyed in 1917 in a matter of months. The history of this greatest catastrophe is still largely mysterious, and there are far more questions than answers. Why did an ordinary bread riot develop into a revolution? Why did Nicholas II and his brother abdicate the throne so easily? How did it happen that just eight months after the “victory of democracy” no one wanted to defend its “gains”, essentially allowing the Bolsheviks to seize power without resistance? Who was behind the scenes of all these tragic events? Who killed the Russian Empire?... Purpose of the lecture: based on students' knowledge acquired in high school

when studying the courses “History of Russia”, “General History”; through the disclosure of the main trends and patterns of the formation of historical science; to form in students knowledge about formational, civilizational and cultural approaches to history, to lead them to the idea that Russian civilization has a number of features in historical development.

Lecture outline

1. The concept of “history”.

2. The concept of “society”. Basic laws of social development.

3. Social and environmental crises in the history of mankind.

4. Basic approaches to history: formational, cultural, civilizational.

5. Russia's place among other civilizations.

1. The concept of “history”

Let's remember once again what “History” is, what this science does. Who will try to formulate an answer?

History is a science that studies facts, events and processes on the basis of historical sources (for example: chronicles), to establish the patterns of historical development of society.

Knowing the laws of social development, we can not only assume why our ancestors acted one way or another, but also model our future. After listening to the course “National History”, you will know what we need to correct, first of all, in ourselves, so that there are changes throughout society.

2. The concept of “society”. Basic laws of social development

You and I have established that history is a science that observes the maturation and age-related changes of society. What is society as a whole?

Indeed, this is a collection of people, and we are all, and much more... Currently, science provides more than 200 definitions of the concept “society”. Among them are:

Society is a sociocultural system consisting of two levels of social organization - the level of cultural systems (the interconnection of ideas) and the level of social systems (the interconnection of people).

Society is a part of the world created by people acting together and consciously transforming it.

Society is the totality of all methods of interaction and forms of unification of people, expressing their comprehensive dependence on each other.

Society is a set of historically established forms of interaction between people.

Society is a variety of relationships between people that arise without the participation of the state.

However, the most meaningful is the following definition, which is understandable to both humanists and natural scientists:

Society is a dynamic self-developing system, separated from nature, but not breaking the connection with it.

The main features of this system are:

    Self-organization.

    Self-development.

    Self-activity.

    Self-sufficiency.

Philosophers call the last sign a distinctive feature of humanity as an integral system, from small social groups, which you and I are now.

Society is a living organism that has its own structure. The smallest elements of this system are you and me, large substructures: economic, political, social, spiritual spheres of society.

Systems such as human society are called open systems by physicists because they exchange matter, energy and information with the environment.

Society, as an open system, develops nonlinearly, that is, it goes through a series of social and environmental crises (the so-called bifurcation points). Every crisis is a challenge to society, a situation of historical choice, which leads either to an increase in the structural organization of the system, or to its destruction.

We see that humanity, just like each of us, goes through black and white stripes and strives to preserve life. While we are alive..., and therefore some accidents (and maybe not accidental discoveries of genius) have still pushed the system onto a new path of development, along which it followed until a new bifurcation.

Answer:

What does the author see as the reasons for the decline of aristocracies in quantitative and qualitative terms? How, in the author’s opinion, does the numerical and qualitative restoration of the ruling class occur (indicate two ways)?


(V. Pareto)

Read the text and complete tasks 21-24.

Aristocracies do not last forever. Whatever the reasons, it is undeniable that they disappear after some time. History is the graveyard of aristocracies... Some aristocracies decline not only in quantity, but also in quality, as their energy weakens and the proportions of resources with which they gained and retained power change. [...]

The ruling class is restored not only numerically, but, more importantly, qualitatively: thanks to families from the lower classes bringing the energy and resources necessary to maintain power. It also recovers due to the fact that it loses its most degraded members.

If one of these processes stops, or, worse, both stop, the ruling class will decline, often leading to the decline of the entire nation. This is a powerful reason that upsets the balance: the accumulation of higher elements in the lower classes and, conversely, lower elements in the higher classes. If human aristocracies were like selected species of animals that, over a long period of time, reproduce their own kind with approximately the same characteristics, the history of mankind would be different.

As a result of the circulation of elites, the ruling elite is in a state of constant and slow transformation, moving like a river; today she is no longer the same as yesterday. From time to time, surprises and violent shocks like floods occur; then the new ruling elite begins to gradually change again: the river, having entered its channel, resumes its usual path.

Revolutions occur because, with the slowdown of the circulation of the elite or for some other reason, degraded elements accumulate in the higher strata of society, who no longer have the resources necessary to maintain power, who avoid the use of force, while in the lower strata the number of elements of the highest increases. qualities that have the potential necessary to perform the function of management and are prone to the use of force.
