Французская революция

The French Revolution of the 18th century is unique in that its experience has been in demand and relevant for more than two centuries. She is the starting point and matrix for all subsequent revolutions, the participants of which were equal to her, imitating her or trying to surpass her. It is not surprising that even today historians and sociologists see it as an ideal model for studying the dynamics of revolutions in general and identifying their general patterns, turning to its experience again and again, trying to understand how revolutions occur and how they develop. People who lived more than two centuries ago in powdered wigs and camisoles were not as far from us as it might seem at first glance ...
