Research of studies of the Russian Revolution under the ideology of Liberalism in the WestEver since the Eastern Europe changed greatly, especially the Soviets disintegrated, "the October Revolution", was denied and bespattered together just because it initiated socialism that was so a great thing in the West and East at the beginning of the 20th century. The main force that Negate and attack it is those forces who oppose communist leadership, the Soviet power and socialism businesses, believing in liberalism. For counter-attacking those negation of counterrevolution to "the October Revolution" and slandering, clarifying their history of falsity, helping people to get away from hoodwinking of lies and calumny, understanding over again the real history meaning of revolution, The thesis carried on some kind of investigations and analysis from the academic theories to the western liberalism, views and studies of liberalism on Revolution of liberalism, and views and studies of liberalism on Russian Revolution, with discovering finites' of its class and history and disclosing hypocritical of liberalism.By investigating a western liberalism theory system and its development history, we can cognize that liberalism has certain core value and theory content, meanwhile, and exists differences and controversy that came into being factions respectively in the liberalism's inner part surrounding these value and theory from beginning to end. Then, by and with these factions, the thesis investigated different attitudes and standpoints concerning revolution in the liberalism inner part, and investigated development history and its status of studies on revolution in the West at contemporary and modern time. On this foundation, from three great research topics——revolution cause, revolution process and revolution result, and then from natural history and psychology stage in the earlier period to sociology stage as a academic direction change afterward, the thesis summed up and interpreted Russian Revolution problem research of the West. By the superficial research to Russian Revolution of the liberalism in the West, the thesis discovers Liberalism being not a tight theory system essentially, consequently standpoints and attitudes to Russian revolution in its inner part have not a unified caliber. And along with time going on, more and more liberal scholars can be careful of investigating and analyzing the history of Russian revolution scientifically. But if you expect the liberalists can affirm Russian revolution one day, especially "October revolution", perhaps being not an easy affair, for both parties' prejudice being too deep each other. If there is a probability of that, we must wait until they give up their so-called universal "Kind" or the theory of Universalism at least.The tsar autocratic government headed by Stolypin acquired order and steady by means of bloody repressing the revolution and critical sentiments of the bourgeoisie. Yet, after order recovered the powers of tradition was also do from the center of alarms and strengthened their effect. Although repressing revolution and riots meted landlord aristocrats'appreciation, the reformations that Stolypin government carried out was not happy to them because it directly endangered their position and benefits. Then traditional power strained every nerve to thwarts reformation even though it was being produce lease of life for them.For instance the reorganization of government, which challenged landlord aristocrat's tradition authority and position, was opposed resolutely. As to cabinet system rule, Right-wing power in court and even the Tsar in person was hostile to it that infringed tsar's prerogatives, even to the extent that expropriating. The religion reformation suffered the resolute opposition from church and right-wing power just because tradition governing position of the Orthodox Church was challenged. And the most significant agrarian reformation didn't attain its effect of substantial, due to the fact that the problem was ingrained.Unduly crude and impetuous, the Agrarian program intensified contradictions and non-stability in countryside communities on the contrary that came into being the root of the trouble in the coming revolution crisis.Since Stolypin's politics authority originated from autocracy sovereign, his government was also certainly close up to the right wing power in order to obtain their supports, otherwise political existence was not defended. Meanwhile, Stolypin must go to obtain a most supports of Duma who represented the society. Maneuvering between two subjects, Stolypin often deserted the side of society by putting into practice the authoritative politics as a result of submitting to the bygone power in the end that, not always accepted by the new power or bygone power.Even if Stolypin defied the conservative power, he finally also overthrew himself into a isolated circumstance and cut off from help, finally moving to nationalism that was the earth beyond redemption.In summary, there were three kinds of development ways in Russia at 20 centuries intersect—sticking to old ways, reformation and revolution. The revolution campaign in 1905 demonstrated the Old system was not received by the society that was developing. Then Stolypin, a liberal bureaucrat with wealthy vision in the traditional camp, decided to meet challenges of modernization by reformation at the aim that maintained the history development continuity and averted the destruction of revolution. In fact, Stolypin's the political conservatism failed, and Tsarist Russia yet maintained its bygone government means essentially. The death of Stolypin may be supposed to a defeat of political conservatism. Then what fate the tsar empire would be confronted with in the end? Can only be the revolution-the bourgeoisie revolution once more either proletariat.
