Abstract
This article aims to highlight that the Russian Revolution opened new perspectives for understanding the State and the law with consequences that unfold until the present time. The Russian Revolution, when constituting a "lucid interval" in the rise of capitalism, exposed the problem of the social forms – political-juridical – inherent in this mode of production and the dilemmas of the socialist transition process. At the same time, the Russian Revolution put us before the relationship between social forms and the specificity of socio-economic formations, synthesized in the question of nationalism.
