Przewrót listopadowy 1917 r. w Rosji a hasło bolszewików prawa narodów do samostanowienia
The 1917 November Coup in Russia versus the Bolshevik’s banner of the right of nations to self-determination

Summary/Abstract: The starting point of these reflections sensu stricto are Lenin’s March Theses of 1916. One of their statements, on the right of nations to self-determination, has been compared with the practical implementation of the right following the successful October Revolution of 1917, when the Bolsheviks took power in Russia. An analysis has been conducted of Lenin’s writings and statements, but also of Trotsky and Stalin, and the consequences of their implementations (or not) have been followed both in the Soviet reality of first years after the coup, and throughout the whole period of existence of this “new type” of state.
