Sorokin’s concepts for the study of political cri-ses is carried out. It is found that the concepts developed by P. Sorokin are not very popular in international po-litical journals. P. Sorokin is defined as one of the first authors to develop theories of revolution. There is reason to believe that his ideas have not lost their relevance today.
