metadata.value: Periods in the life of a country, when it radically changes its civilizational trajectory, cannot
  but attract the attention of researchers. For the Russian Empire, the First World War turned
  out to be the zone of such crucial revolutionary turbulence: the empire ceased to exist. What
  circumstances led to this turn of events? Was the wrong economic policy of the state authorities
  the main reason for the fall of the monarchy? The issues of state regulation of national
  economy of Russia during the First World War in the context of possible factors that caused
  the death of the empire are discussed in the monograph “On the Threshold of the Catastrophe.
  State and Economy of Russia in 1914–1917” by Irina V. Potkina, Dr. Sci. in History. The logic
  of the analysis led the scholar to the conclusion that the economic policy of the Provisional
  Government proved to be destructive for the country. The atmosphere of mutual distrust
  and suspicion in the Russian society also played an important role. This article continues this
  theme and shows that some mental and behavioral characteristics of Russian people contributed
  greatly to the country’s path to the disaster. Some people were involved in illegal activities
  under the influence of technologies for manipulating public consciousness practiced by
  opposition political parties. The Bolsheviks, whose activities, from the standpoint of modern
  Russian legislation, falls under the definition of “extremism”, enjoyed the greatest success. The
  author of the article concludes that it is necessary to correct the evaluation of historical events
  in the academic and educational literature.
