The October Revolution of 1917 in Petrograd and its evaluation in Germany

The October Revolution of 1917 in Petrograd and its evaluation in Germany

Abstract

The article deals with the question of what guided the leading politicians and military men of the German Empire in estimation of the Bolshevik stage of the Russian Revolution and concludes that the main desire was to ensure Russia's withdrawal from the First World War and more broadly its exclusion from among the great powers . The fear of the German ruling circles over "world Bolshevism" was a "product for domestic consumption" and did not have a noticeable influence on the adoption of strategic decisions in foreign policy. However for the Soviet government in the first place were the questions of preserving their own power within the country and that’s why it didn’t provide any noticeable support for the leftist forces in Germany until the autumn of 1918.

В статье разбирается вопрос, чем руководствовались ведущие политики и военные Германской империи в оценке большевистского этапа Российской революции, и делается вывод о том, что на первом месте стояло стремление обеспечить выход России из первой мировой войны и более широком плане – ее исключение из числа великих держав. Страх германских правящих кругов перед «мировым большевизмом» был «продуктом для внутреннего потребления» и не оказывал заметного влияния на принятие стратегических решений во внешней политике. В свою очередь для советского правительства на первом месте стояли вопросы сохранения собственной власти внутри страны, сколько-нибудь заметной поддержки левых сил в Германии вплоть до осени 1918 г. оно не оказывало.
