Community revolution in the context of the Second Russian Troubles
Verification of the socio-cultural context of modern Russian society involves a conscientious study of one's own past. The task, already complicated by the intrusion of historical memory into the field of scientific studies, is also burdened in our society by the seventy-year burden of forced ideological interpretation of the events of a century ago. Within the framework of the discourse Of the history of the USSR, the events of the Seventeenth year were described as a holiday of the working masses - “the Great October socialist revolution” - which “may it remain forever”. This approach and most of its reincarnations dominating the research field do not allow us to adequately interpret and academically organize the discourse of Russian history. The article attempts to present an alternative discourse of the Second Russian turmoil, the key element of which was the communal revolution: a mass peasant movement that played the role of almost the only bond of the former Empire under the conditions of the state apparatus's permission. The historical paradox is determined by the fact that the rural protest movement, aimed at optimizing communication between the village society and the crown bureaucracy during the great war, turned out to be the basis for generating a new society.
