Abstract
The relevance of the theme is seen in the fact that in the post-Soviet period there was a blurring of the criteria for scientific reconstruction and assessment of the problems of revolution and counter-revolution in Russia. The purpose of the work is to provoke a critical reflection on the methodological and ideological turn that has taken place. According to the author, the reverse side of the restoration of the conservative and right-wing liberal historical-legal and theoretical-legal discourse was the unreasonable rejection of the principles of dialectical thinking in the works of post-Soviet authors and, as a result, the reideologization of the historical-legal sphere of academic knowledge. The idea is substantiated that the modern scientific optics of understanding the problems of revolution and counter-revolution in Russia should include not only a specific understanding of the essence of the pre-revolutionary system (dependent peripheral capitalism), but also an assessment of the confrontation between the revolutionary movement and the tsarist regime from the point of view of a concretely understood social ideal. The first steps of this ideal in historical practice are reflected in the images of high culture.
