They are two distinct intellectual and political traditions, although the influence of the latter upon the former cannot be denied. To confirm this hypothesis, the main part of the article consists in a diachronic analysis of the ideas of the Russian intelligentsia, the nursery of the future Bolshevik dictatorship, starting with its humanist origins and ending with its terrorist degeneration. For a better understanding of the origins of Russian populism, the first part of the article presents the Marxist origins of European social-democracy. The research methods I made use of are political comparative analysis and ideological analysis.http://www.revistapolis.ro/images/arhiva_2_pe_2013/Emanuel_COPILAS.pdfEnlightenmentsocial-democracypopulismnihilismterrorismdictatorship
