Keywords:
francoska revolucija, 1789Abstract
The author tries to analyse the main stages of the French historiography dealing with the Revolution, from the first attempts of explanation to the present time. All along this two centuries we can observe two opposite currents, one in favour of the Revolution, the other hostile to it. In the 20th century the progress of historical science and the October revolution gave a new direction to this historiography.
