Résumé anglais Jacques Sapir, Civil War and wartime economy as origins of the Soviet system. In the double process which brought the downfall of the tsarist system and the birth of the Soviet system, the place of the First World War and the Civil War continues to be an important research theme for the study and deeper understanding of what has been the USSR. It is necessary to take into account the notion of wartime economy in order to grasp how the Soviet system could set up. Thanks to this, the question of the Russian past in the Soviet present finds again its place and we can leave behind the fruitless couple modernity/archaism. Then, the origins of the Soviet system show up in their multiplicity: as a combination of various ideological legacies, stability of practices and institutions which were in place long before the coming into power of the Bolsheviks. The wartime economy model and the dialectical pair organization/mobilization prove to be essential tools to avoid a reading too idealistic of the birth of the USSR.
