Abstract

My paper retraces the Decembrist Revolt (1825) in Russia, and asks certain fundamental questions regarding this revolution and its political potential if the Western countries (or other countries) had properly replied to it – the questions that have not yet been seriously answered. I also raise the topic of the Marshall Plan (1947-1951), and what it could have been for Central Europe and the Western world. Finally, I succinctly analyze feminism as perpetuum mobile, and point to Simone de Beauvoir as the pioneer of modern feminism – at least she should be so owing to her great contribution to the social debate in The Second Sex.
