The author considers formed forms of economic and political regimes as a response to social needs and the necessity to implement the "exit from riot": to calm mass social protest, both in Russia and in Germany. Sharp need of an exit from revolt, persistent requirement of decrease in level of social tension and a social protest for Russia and Germany in 20-30th development of these states defined a history of these countries and the people. Even the beginning of the World War II was inevitable due to the Hitler's necessity to calm down the protest.
