Marc Ferro : "Il y a bien sûr une convergence entre les deux:
le terrorisme a pour but d'instituer une terreur, mais la Terreur, c'est un régime. Certes, à propos du Comité de salut public, on parlait effectivement de «terroristes», mais il s'agissait de tout autre chose. La Terreur vient d'en haut, c'est une pratique d'Etat, une forme de contrôle sur la société, alors que le terrorisme vient d'en bas, de la société. Evidemment, ce n'est pas toujours clair: quand Staline fait assassiner Trotski, c'est de la terreur ou du terrorisme?"

again.
