This book of conversations between political scientist Gleb Pavlovsky and the outstanding historian and philosopher Mikhail Gefter (1918–1995) is dedicated to the politics and metaphysics of the 1917 Revolution. Unlike other great revolutions, the Russian one was not stopped. It did not have a “Thermidor”, and, according to the historian, the Revolution is still going on. A participant in the events of the 20th century, Gefter considered himself to be a member of the Soviet “meta-generation”. He interprets the history of the Russian state body as global in origin. This is the secret of the madness of Tsar Ivan the Terrible and the tyrant fighters of “Narodnaya Volya”, the catastrophe of the revolutionary intellectuals and the anti-revolutionary Pyotr Stolypin. Here is the source of the charisma and political technologies of Vladimir Ulyanov (Lenin). The communist revolution began in Silver Age Petrograd and created a wave of worldwide consequences - from decolonization to Hitler and from the formation of an anti-fascist Europe to Mao Zedong's China. But the collapse of the USSR did not stop it. In the mystery of the unstoppable Revolution, Mikhail Gefter found the reasons for the failure of the Russian national state project of the 1990s and even symptoms of fascisation. The author is deeply grateful to the Institut für die Wissenschaf en vom Menschen in Vienna for the exciting atmosphere of precise thinking and to IWM researcher Ivan Krastev for an insightful discussion of the ideas of this books.
