History as a political resource in February - October 1917
History, the meaning of which is periodically challenged, is important not only as one of the important tools for understanding of life before us, but also the reorganization of its foundations and rules. Revolutionary events actualize both. In 1917, conditioned national reflexes are subjected to active introduction into a revolutionary context, the meaning of which is clarified through the historical perspective. The article is of an interdisciplinary nature. It raises not only purely historical, but also cultural, philosophical problems, such as the meaning of historical science, its role in political processes, history as an integrator of national identity, trends in both ethno-differentiation and ethno-integration.
