Kontinuitet jedne revolucije
Continuity of a Revolution

Summary/Abstract: Because of the specific character of the Russian conditions people used to view upon the October Revolution out of the context of struggle of the workers’ movement and out of the frame of movement of the socialist thought in the world relations. Meanwhile. although the Revolution of 1917 essentially represented the realization of ideas of socialism in very specific conditions, its value was nothing less also as a step forward towards the realization of the world socialist revolution and as a contribution to the further development of the Marxist political theory. In this sense the author tried to show the continuity of the October Revolution and of the struggle of the workers' class in the world relations in its practical and theoretical aspect. The result of such an approach is the appearance of the Russian Revolution as a logical result of the development of capitalism as a world process. Therefore it in fact confirms by its appearance all fundamental propositions of Marxian theory. It is quite a mistake to make conclusion out of Marxian propositions that according to his theory the socialist revolution is to be expected exclusively in the first place in the most advanced capitalist countries and confront it with the existed praxis of socialist revolutions which, as a rule, appeared just in under-developed countries. Marx, on the contrary, looked upon capitalism as the world system. The conclusion is that its further development can be impossible in any part of the world capitalist system. Some explicit attitudes of Marx himself tell us about that phenomenon. He himself expected revolution in the west of Europe, and later on he discussed about chances of the appearance of the socialist overthrow in Russia. In the frame of such a context the October Revolution appears as a part of the process of the world socialist revolution which is not to be understood as a synchronous act, but as a series of national revolutions. And the continuity of the revolution of 1917 just consists in that phenomenon, as well as its existing in the contemporary socialism as a world process, which has been, as it still is, a unique movement for the liberation of the working class. Therefore all solutions of the October Revolution and the world society in their rising trend of socialist development represent a contribution to the struggle of the international proletariat although they by themselves were originally accommodated to the specific Russian conditions.
