About this book
Reviews
“This book is most welcome. Larissa Titarenko and Elena Zdravomyslova provide an instructive overview of the beginnings of Russian sociology in the second half of the 19th century until today. Due to the manifold developments of Russian history and society they characterize the many attempts to establish sociology as an academic discipline and the main thrust of theories, methods, great figures and well-known studies. How sociology fares in one of the largest societies of the world is of utmost importance.” (Hans-Peter Müller, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany)
“The dramatic history of Russian sociology is told in this impressive account by focusing on the uniquely intimate and conflict-ridden interaction between the discipline and the power and between its main figures and the power over the years from the nineteenth century to the present. The story with its three crises and three new beginnings is put in a broad perspective to show its particular position in the global setting of the science of society.” (Risto Alapuro, Professor of Sociology, University of Helsinki, Finland)
