Summary/Abstract: The paper (1) interprets original meaning of the occupied and banished concept of social revolution, and (2) explains its contemporary shifts in content and scope. It analyses both political and internal scientific corrections and social conditions of re-evaluation of the revolution concept. The paper belongs to the conceptual history (Begriffsgeschichte) which, as a reflexive aspect of history, reviews the concepts that interpret history. The conceptual history is the history of ideas and issues that is clustered in conceptions of its own age. Hegemonic concepts are indicators of social and political change, and they are not only theoretical categories, but they are active fighting unities in practice, the factors of processes and history. They are not only analytical, but political weapons as well.
