Abstract
- February Russian revolution attracted much attention in 2017, and during its discussion was revealed the unexpected similarity of its doctrine to the structure, goals, means, logic and organisation of "perestroika" approaches in 1985-1991. Comparison of the programmes of these two revolutions makes perestroika seem like a remake of 70 year old film. Reformers of the end of XX century repeated the steps and claims of liberals and mensheviks, bourgeois and corrupted officials, westerners and nationalists. And in the end —terrorism. The same gestures and pathetic, promises and lies, provocations and support from the West. And the same illusions and theatrical fail. And if the February revolution was the sincere attempt to follow the bourgeois revolution of early capitalism, but operation "perestroika" looks more like well-developed technology — the prototype of "colour revolutions" in greater scale. This technology of massive destruction requires research. Social sciences are far beyond, state and society are not ready for such attacks.
