ФРАНЦУСКА РЕВОЛУЦИЈА И РЕВОЛУЦИОНАРНИ ПРОЦЕС
FRENCH REVOLUTION AND THE PROCESS OF REVOLUTION

Summary/Abstract: Revolutionary process of the French Revolution may serve as a model of the revolutionary process in general. It looks as a well organized theatrical scenario, where everything develops logically while leading to a climax. The phases of the revolution follow one anther, while being so well coordinated that the result becomes inevitable. After the feudal economic and political system comes to a stage of disintegration, the revolution begins in the form of popular movement rather moderate in character, but in time develops into one more strict and radical, going in step with gathering strength and resistance by the establisment. The revolutionaries are distinguished between the moderates and radicals, and the Terror foUows democracy; the revolution begins „to eat its own children” arid the counter-revolutionary international surrounding begins to meddle. Instead of democracy, the Napoleonian dictatorship takes place, only to be followed by the return of the ancien régime. But all that remains the form and an illusion, since the victory of the bourgeoisie is sure. In spite of that, the parliamentary democracy is to be realized only after an entire century, namely in 1875. This same process, with certain modifications without great significance, may be noted also in the Soviet revolution and the Yugoslav socialist revolution, which fact confirms the existence of an essential regularity in the revolutionary process in general.
