The conception, suggested to the author by Velimir Khlebnikov, consider the Great Revolution as “equality of worlds” and “unity of people and things”. These comparisons of genius are described by V. Khlebnikov as the “common denominator”. The revolutionary events rose to their tops: the election of the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church and of members of the legislature. National communicative revolution, which for decades was prepared by the struggle for the liberation of Russia from the “mute” state, includes the four phases of the revolution, which make up a whole – a national revolution. Its actuality is the subject of the proposed study.
Choosing a methodological position, the author took the guidelines in the poetics of the Silver age, applying the tetrad philological projecting through the prism of history, philosophy, religion and politics
The search for “common denominator” of revolutionary events led to the phenomenon of humanity and the principle of humanism. The revolution of 1917 can be defined with adjectives – civilizational and humanistic. At a distance of century, “big picture” is seen as consolidation of the country for the ending of the war. Sovereign coup at the beginning of 1918 terminates.
