The article is devoted to the phenomenon of the Great Russian Revolution in intellectual discourse and the historical memory of Russian emigration of the 1920 and 1930’s. At the center of the author’s attention is the construction of the Temporality of Revolution: expulsion from Russia became a characteristic feature of the Time, an Existential Tragedy. The Russian emigration as a witness and participant of global historical shocks created their model of Time, the culture of historical Memory, rethinking the events of the First World War, Revolution and Civil War. In the emigrant intellectual Culture there was a trend towards diversity of Temporality, the Time of Revolution produced an Inversion, extracting the Social Facts of the Historical Past to the Present. The authors presented Time as not a cool and indifferent background against which History unfolds, but as a live Monitoring of sociopolitical Life in Russia.
