Russian Eventfulness - 1917: Artful Weaving of Words

Abstract

The subject of research is world and peace, the boundary of which is war. The choice of Russia in 1917 - revolutionary pacifism demanded by the necessity of labor vs. the war and creation vs. destruction. Russian literature of the revolution is superior to the prejudiced mind of politicians. Modern Philology approached to the opening of the sacred sense of "February", "October" and "November". In the unity of their communication, the revolutionary eventfulness in the spiritual life and fate of Russia was for every Russian the fateful choice for peace against war.

Phenomenology of dual reality - the visible and the metaphysical - was summarized due to the method of induction and deduction. Also was used the method of synthetic construction, including the verbal aspect of the portrait.

Revolution has a communicative and a median nature, which express the requirement of a Revelation to see the "middle Kingdom" in the revolutionary community. The poets of the Silver Age heard the heavenly "music of the revolution", considered her image and realized its median nature. Integral-philological analysis of the weaving of words about the revolutionary events of 1917 allowed the author to challenge the formula of the single Great October and to enter in Russian studies the idea of convergence of the four-phase Russian pacifist revolution. The author presents 1917, inextricably linked with the First World War, the main cause of Russian pacifist revolution. He recalls Lermontov's "Prediction" (1830) about the impending disaster, the "black day" in Russian fate. Unlike politicians who cling to the intricacies of rhetoric about good and evil, the lyrics of Russia are exponents and creators of the liberal-humanitarian culture. The thought of Silver Age about God, about Revelation lived and lives in its context.

At the turn of 1917-th classics were able to gain the understanding of the main. Epigraphs from their works may precede investigation of "Russia and Revolution". A hundred years ago, there was no force in the world that would stop the challenge to normal communication. Russian and Jewish poets are its amazing heralds. Commitment to the old truths of the autocracy and individualism turned into debris in the form of prejudice. Staring into the revolution it is impossible not to see its usual verbal activism associated with the youth of its participants. The revolutionaries felt not like mortal people but like immortal heroes. Their mouths spoke seductive words: "people", "freedom", "democracy", and “revolution". The decaying state was called "fatherland", a real disaster "homeland". The basis of Socialist Revolutionaries and Bolshevik’s socialist utopia was an idea that the revolution represents something more real than Russia and its population. Heroes-revolutionaries overshadowed ordinary people who needed peacefulness.

Pushkin's approach, which I have used, requires consideration of the whole great eventfulness - 1917 - in unity and integrity and, like in the song, we must not ascend one word "October" to the heaven, and hush other word - November. The author does not share anti-tsarist point of view that the Russian monarchy was unbearable and a bloody despotism. The truth is that the autocratic regime, rejecting dialogue with the people, transformed in February into dust without shooting and bloodshed. A revolutionary element knows its own leaders, but they have not delved into the life tragedy of the concept of "Monarchianism". Exactly it really is the center of Russia.
