Revolution as a type of armed violence:essence and terminological analysis

Abstract

The article highlights the main concepts of revolution as a special type of armed violence, which is nowadays formed in political science. Due to the complex analysis of the above ideas, the author concludes that the most optimal is the concept proposed by the scientist ch. Johnson, which is based on the consideration of the personal factor and daily life of the masses in the process of forming the causes that lead to radical changes through the use of weapons. Also important is an analysis of the essence of revolution in the context of the world-systemic approach of i. Wallerstein. The author argues that the revolution is a form of mass internal armed violence that leads to rapid, fundamental changes in all spheres of society, in particular in the institutions of political interaction and mass consciousness.
