The article is devoted to the reasons, nature and historical lessons of the 1917 revolution in Russia. These problems after a century not only continue to remain relevant, but are at the center of modern theoretical and political discussions. Determining in the understanding of its meanings remains the identification of its objective conditionality, the system of contradictions, the logic of the political process in the country, the nature of the representations of the leading political forces about the ways of resolving the urgent political and social transformations, which was the reason for its acute and dramatic flow. Particular attention is paid to the bloc policy of the country’s leading political forces, to the contradictions in the coalition policy of the Provisional Government, opportunities for establishing a right-wing dictatorship, to the possibilities of implementing a levodemocratic alternative. Analyzes of the Bolsheviks in 1917 for the seizure of power by the working class and the peasantry, with the immediate goal of completing the democratic revolution and the practical consequences of this course. It is noted that, for all the ambiguity of the historical lessons of the Russian revolution, it has become a truly epoch-making event that has had a tremendous impact on the destinies of not only Russia, but the world as a whole.
