Mikhail Agursky, The millenarian dimension of the Bolshevik Revolution.
The problem of religious roots of the Bolshevik revolution has been discussed before, for example by Berdiaev, Besançon, Sarkysianz. However, they all regarded this problem only within the framework of the history of ideas. An attempt has been made here for the first time to demonstrate that the Bolsheviks' original success would have been impossible without the direct support of wide religious segments of the Russian people, mainly peasants. The most important driving religious force of the revolution was Russian millenarianism, which was a repetition of what seems to have been forgotten by history - mediaeval peasant rebellions. The first wave of anti-religious terror after the revolution was mainly waged by peasant millenarians who were extremely hostile towards the ruling Church. The Bolsheviks wanted to exploit this force from the very beginning ; they gave it the possibility to develop freely, but when it fulfilled its destiny, they suppressed it mercilessly.
