Abstract
The Russian Revolution was more than just the collapse of a derelict government and the violent introduction of a new dictatorial regime. To those who witnessed and experienced these events, they meant the beginning of an unprecedented new world order in which their wildest dreams — or nightmares for that matter — might come true. It is hard to imagine, but at the same time worthwhile to understand, what impact the revolution had on the thoughts and beliefs of the people who initiated it and lived through it. It is therefore the purpose of this chapter to provide a modest contribution to the exploration of the mental mapping of the revolution.
