Abstract

The main issue in this research is to investigate the distinct identity of the two Russian October Revolutions and the Islamic Revolution and its impact on adopting different strategies in issuing the revolution as an external consequence in the international arena of the two revolutions. In this article, by using the theory of constructivism and relying on concepts such as identity and examining the process of its construction, as well as paying attention to the special nature of political structures, the distinct cultural and social contexts of the two Russian October Revolutions and the Islamic Revolution, the impact of revolutionary actions in examine the issue of the revolution. In the Russian Revolution, a kind of post-apocalypticism based on Marxist teachings led to the strategy of issuing the revolution according to the conditions of the Russian Revolution as a guarantor of the survival of the October Revolution. It can be interpreted as a concept of revolutionary action with partial priority, but in the Islamic revolution, the strategy of issuing the revolution is formed as a duty-oriented principle and with the priority of consciousness over revolutionary action. The current research shows the consequences of this distinction in the use of tools and methods and the place of issuing the revolution in a comparative process based on constructivist theory. Documentary method has been used in the process of collecting information in this research. The type of research is descriptive-analytical.
