Summary/Abstract: Written to mark the 200 anniversary of the French revolution and dedicated to the occasion this essay is an attempt to see the historical outcome of the revolution as a lasting conflict between proclaimed human rights and the quest of the peasant majority of the population to stabilize the acquired system of property by a strong government. In spite of the consideration that revolution 1789-1799 was the very cradle of the modern democracy its main historical message was a bonapartistic way of government. Agrarian problem was one of the main foundations of revolutions in XIX and XX centuries. It has produced the same result as it was case with France at the end of XVIII century, no matter which country was in consideration.
