metadata.value: This article was written as a response to the discussion in the previous issue. The concept of the
  author was regarded by B. N. Mironov as cyclic-pendulum, or inversion nature of Russia’s development.
  According to it, Russia, unlike the West, is characterized not by progressive, but by
  spasmodic pendulum development: progress is replaced by reaction, movement goes in a vicious
  circle. However, this concept is only a part of the whole theory of Dvornichenko, which
  states, in essence, that the state emerged in the Russian history late, only in 16th century, and
  in time acquired unique features of state-serfdom system. This system was from time to time
  disturbed by so called “Smutas” (crises). It is possible to regard these phenomena as cyclic,
  but it is necessary to take into account that the state after a period of crisis, on the one hand,
  revives, but on the other hand, there is a tendency towards collapse during such periods and
  a possibility of the state’s final dissolution. Some neglect of these phenomena in our history
  and the desire to study only so-called modernization leads historians to a biased picture of the
  Russian history, which glosses over the truth. This is evident in the works of B. N. Mironov and
  his adherents, particularly, in the articles published within the framework of this discussion.
  One could not overestimate a positive impact of authoritarian power in our history because it
  is a main cause of every “smuta”. In general, we shouldn’t exaggerate the achievements of the
  country because the price of every crisis period with the process of demodernization is dear.
  For the further understanding of the Russian history new and active discussions are necessary.
