Summary/Abstract: This study first defines the concepts of the "left" and the "right" as political phenomena. Then, after touching upon the student and black movement in the United States of America, it presents the basic features and development of student movements in the Federal Republic of Germany and France in the late 1960s. Most of the study is dedicated to the revolutionary commotion at Belgrade University in 1968, in which the author of this study personally participated. In a fully new way, the text interprets the activities of the Yugoslav President Tito and a group of professors and teaching assistants from Belgrade Faculty of Philosophy gathered around the journal "Praxis" ("The Praxis Group") during this commotion. The study also provides a contribution to the theory of revolution.
