Summary/Abstract: The author considers historical origin of social-democracy and so-called marxism of the Second International during the last quarter of nineteenth century, while endeavouring to analyze a widely accepted interpretation of the Second International as an achieved connection between mass workers’ movement and Marx’ revolutionary thinking. He considers along these lines the destiny of Marx political messages and the way of their realization in the social-democratic movements, while having in mind many open issues of organizational, program, political, ideological and theoretical nature. The author points at limited, contradictory and controversial aspects of Marx’ thinking in the social-democratic parties of European countries and, through them, in the Second International. At the same time he tries to supply some elements of explanation of such historical development of the socialist movement and the so-called marxism of the Second International, whose contradictions in tendencies of integration and revolutionary ideas are reduced in essence to the rift between the reform and the revolution within the social- -democratic political doctrine.
