This work seeks to understand the hold that the idea of communism had on people's minds, despite the tragic experiences that it covered with its flag, first in the USSR, then in other European countries, or elsewhere. It is the contrast between the course of the Bolshevik revolution in its different periods and the illusions with which it was surrounded which makes up the material for this long story in the form of analysis. To tell the story of this imaginary relationship, the author is led through the 20th century, from the October Revolution of 1917 to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. The First World War gave Bolshevism the influence of a revenge of the will on fate; On October 17, it revived Europe's revolutionary tradition, wrapped in the promise of universal peace. The Soviet myth will therefore never cease to enrich its magic with the circumstances of the century. It capitalizes on the injustices of the Treaty of Versailles. It is enriched by the contrast with the Great Depression. It flourished with anti-fascism and culminated in Stalin's victory over Hitler. Even de-Stalinization expanded its influence at a time when it nevertheless marked its decline. Communism will disappear as a regime before having exhausted the hopes of its supporters. An internationally renowned historian, François Furet (1927-1997) directed the School of Advanced Studies in Social Sciences and taught at the University of Chicago.
