ABSTRACT

History books are not objective science but psychodrama. The word "psychodrama" in therapy means that the patient writes a play, seemingly about others, but unconsciously revealing his own deepest feelings. A fascinating trend in history is its self-reversive pendulum from rationalism to feelings. Historians of revolutions show that every revolution ends with a victorious general; a man on horseback taking over. Cormnunist countries were particularly influenced by patterns of the French Revolution, so was their whole terminology to an obsessive point, Russia in particular. Greeting the French Revolution, Wordsworth wrote: "Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, but to be young was very heaven." In the French Revolution, Danton, who was corrupt, killed a lot of people then leaned back to enjoy life, he had had enough. In the French Revolution, the democratic fervor of the Revolution so "inspired" France that its armies defeated its monarchic Prussian and Austrian enemies and swept over Europe.
