The Great October revolution, like all revolutionary events that rocked our country in 1917, for the past hundred years is the most diverse, sometimes extremely controversial and ambiguous estimates and judgments in historiography. Do not cease debate about the nature, driving forces and regularities of the processes that so strongly changed the face of Russian society have changed the vector of Russian history. In the article the author develops a geopolitical point of view on the causes of the greatest events of the 20th century. This approach was introduced and has been further developed in several works, written in exile in the 1920-ies. P.N. Savitsky. P.N. Savtisky deservedly considered a leader and one of the greatest thinkers of such important and original movements of the Russian Diaspora, as Eurasianism. In this regard, a group of Russian thinkers and politicians had proposed a special system of evaluation of historical processes from the point of view of the geographical factor. The original perspective has allowed P.N. Savitsky fresh look and rethink the most important landmark in Russian and world history. In his writings he mentioned many times that all the problems of the Russian revolution were the movement of Eurasians in their core geopolitical concepts. Installing the laws of the Russian revolution, P.N. Savitsky claimed the ability to make scientific predictions, which, in fact, was laid by his own ideological priorities and political objectives. He also claimed that he was able to identify and justify the historical-geographical origins of the October revolution, arguing that revolution and especially the Communist experiment in Russia could start if the geographical position of the country was different and pushed her to autarky. After analyzing the data and other theoretical principles of the creative heritage of P.N. Savitsky, the author of this article shows the fallacy of some of his insights, and those insights Savitsky, which reflect the reality of what was happening in the revolutionary Russia of the historical process and can be demanded for the formation of a truly scientific picture of the revolution of 1917 and its impact on the development of national humanitarian knowledge, including in the environment of Russian emigration.
