Revolutionary and evolutionary ways of development: historical and philosophical analysis

In modern society, unfortunately, the danger of destructive revolutionary upheavals is still not understood seriously enough. The events in Ukraine in 2014 serve as a reminder to all subsequent generations of how a storm of mass emotions, not supported by an understanding of the expediency of the social order, can lead into a long-term mass catastrophe, in general, a fairly successful economic and social society. This is precisely why a balanced comparative analysis of revolutionary and evolutionary ways of society's development is necessary to explain and understand the only way of normal development - evolutionary progressive development, opposite to destructive revolutionary development. Experience in history has shown that mass terror and unjustified social experiments in the field of economy and social life have devastating effects on the state. A case in point is Western Europe during the crisis of feudal relations and Russia in the early XX century.
