No. 5 (2017): On the occasion of the centenary of the October Revolution

The particular topic of this issue is dedicated to the "100th anniversary of the October Revolution".

• Neither this publication nor any other publication can address the issues related to such a major historical event and its consequences in one issue.
• In addition to the research and technical articles published in this issue, we have tried in two areas; one is the reflection and impact of the discourse of Marxism and the Iranian communist current on the religious currents of Iran (currents and thinkers such as "God-fearing socialists," "People's Mojahedin" Ali Shariati, Habibollah Peyman, and even some religious clerics). The contribution of this discourse in the necessity of a "scientific" study of phenomena in Iran (without wanting to judge its meaning here); And the study of the peaceful transfer of power in the Soviet Union and other countries of the former socialist camp (except for the particular situation of Romania, of course) and its importance as a historical experience that can be instructive for us today. However, since the publication of articles in these two areas was delayed, we inevitably gave up on them and hope that this will be possible at another time.
