Abstract

The article studies the growth of authoritarian tendencies in the context of Russian revolutions and Soviet socialism. After a period of transition, between October 1917 and July 1918, these trends were consolidated during the civil wars, between 1918 and 1921, considered as a revolution in the revolution, consummating an authoritarian cycle, the true cradle of Soviet socialism. War communism and the incorporation of a nationalist perspective would also be integral aspects of civil wars, transforming the meaning of the democratic cycle (revolutions of 1905 and 1917 - February and October), reorienting it in an authoritarian sense that would last until the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991.
