Transformation of Power in the USSR

Abstract

Social processes which are sometimes consciously initiated by men, are prone to consequently develop and to exist independently of the will of their creators. That is, the intended objectives of men’s action acquire an inertia of their own and lead, quite often, to unforeseen situations. If one looks at the origin and subsequent course of events following the Bolshevik revolution, one could find that the intended aims of the Bolsheviks were quite different from the reality which emerged as a result of their actions.
