Abstract

The article focuses on the response of L. N. Andreev about the end of the Romanov dynasty. Andreev, perceiving in this historical event a radical breakdown of the situation in Russia, introduces into the analyzed journalistic texts printed in the newspaper Russkaya Volya his ideas about the essentially messianic role of the Russian army. It is the Russian army that, in his opinion, should lead the revolution, which will liberate not only Germany, but all European nations and lead to the creation of a state consisting of the united European nations. Unfortunately, such a vision of the army turned out to be incorrect, as it described the desired rather than the real state of both the Russian army and the Russian "nation".
