The text is an introduction to the book 'Social Transformations and Revolutions', published on the relevant occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Soviet collapse (1991). The book prompts a timely reflection on revolutions and transformations which happened since then. It analyses the political transformations after 9/11, the important changes following the global economic crisis in the EU and the U.S.A., the revolutionary transformations of India and China, and important experiments in Brazil. It examines also how the economic crisis that began in 2007/8 caused a series of breakdowns and provoked demands for social and political transformation.
