Historical-futurological projects
Vladimir Fedorovich Odoevsky (1804-1869) and Alexander Vasilyevich Chayanov (1888-1937) are remarkable thinkers of the romantic school, like Ernst Theodor Hoffmann (with whom they are often compared), and wrote mystical-fantastical works in the spirit of a disturbingly ironic absurdity. As many romantics (Hoffmann was not only a brilliant writer but also a talented musician and a professional lawyer), Odoevsky and Chayanov had a surprisingly dive…
General and specific, qualitative and quantitative, demographic and philosophical aspects in discussions about Russian sociological education
The article identifies two main “dimensions” of current discussions about the content, quality, and results of sociological training in Russian universities. First, a macro- and interdisciplinary discourse on general trends in the development of higher education under regional, national, and global challenges, such as the contradiction between traditional (classical, fundamental-value) and modernization (personal- and practice-oriented) paradigms…
Digital trend in the development of communication between Russia’s authorities and population
In the contemporary information society, the state not only strives for but is often forced to develop a dialogue with citizens in the online space - on websites, portals, apps and social networks that have become an integral part of our everyday life. Personal appeals to officials have become online - instead of spending hours in state institutions, we quickly fill out special forms in electronic “reception rooms”, which gives rise to new forms …
Flat Earth
The article is an essay based on two recently published in Russian popular science books, both mentioning the flat Earth in their titles (although one only in its Russian edition) but for solving different research problems. The first book by V. Giacomotto-Charra and S. Nony The Flat Earth : Genealogy of a False Idea reconstructs the myth about the origin of the flat Earth myth and could not do without detailed characteristics of the essence and …
Main components of the sociological study of happiness
The search for answers to the question of what happiness is and what is necessary for it began in ancient times, but there are still no unambiguous findings. Ancient philosophers proposed various concepts of happiness, linking it with virtue, absence of suffering or life in accordance with reason - today these ideas are still shared to some extent but considered insufficient for understanding and finding happiness. First surveys on happiness date…
“BRVssical” anomie and its conceptual “BRVrifications”
The concept of “anomie” is fundamental to sociology for at least two reasons, in addition to its well-known application for constructing models of the social, which have retained their heuristic potential to this day. First, anomie is an integral and fundamentally important part of the categorical apparatus that ensured the development and “legitimization” of sociology as a new field of social inquiry with its own subject field and “rhetoric”. Se…
Tattoo as an object of sociological interest
Even with the most “naked” eye it is difficult not to notice the growing prevalence of tattoos in the Russian society (beyond any generational, gender, professional or social boundaries), which makes tattooing an important object of sociological analysis and requires identifying its subject field, since tattooing is such an ancient social phenomenon that it has long been the focus of interdisciplinary research (historical, anthropological, philos…
Is reliable sociological measurement of social well-being possible? The case of Ghana
The desire to improve living conditions and social well-being has always determined efforts of both researchers and reformers, especially since the last quarter of the 20th century, filled with different types of development ideas. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Agenda implies accelerating the pace of basic human development with “leaving no one behind”, focusing mainly on improving the standard of living. However, in the…
Some (relatively) new conceptual ‘frames’ supplementing the study of human capital in rural sociology
The article continues the authors’ thoughts about the necessary conceptual frameworks that would help rural sociology provide more reliable insights and data in the study of such a relatively new (in the conceptual-analytical perspective) social phenomenon as rural human capital. In the previous article, we presented a brief overview of such half-forgotten but still relevant theoretical foundations of rural sociology as agricultural economics, th…
Contemporary magical practices
Despite the claims of the contemporary society to progressive scientific rationality, it is difficult not to notice in our everyday life increasingly more manifestations of the “magic” in quite standardized forms, typical for the “consumer society”. The absence of an established sociological tradition for conceptualizing the magic and of the systematized empirical data for the study of its current forms explains the need for the reconstruction of…
Compendium of types of the “typological” in sociology
The article presents an attempt to review the collective monograph Typological Analysis in Sociology as a Diagnostic Procedure (G.G. Tatarova, N.S. Babich, G.P. Bessokirnaya, A.V. Kuchenkova; ed. by G.G. Tatarova, A.V. Kuchenkova. Moscow: FCTAS RAS, 2023, 358 p.), which summarizes many years of searches and findings of G.G. Tatarova with her students and colleagues in the subject field of typological analysis as a sociological method, meta-method…
Contemporary magical practices
The article continues the description of the state and development of the magical in the contemporary secular society. The absence of an established sociological tradition of conceptual understanding and empirical study of the magical explains the division of the text into two parts. The fi part presents a reconstruction of the stages of the “magical renaissance” as a stable social-cultural phenomenon in contemporary history and identifi the most…
The new Federal State Educational Standard and sociological imagination
The article presents some thoughts about the reasons for the current extreme concern of the Russian professional sociological community about the model of training proposed by the Federal State Educational Standard of the fourth generation. In the first part of the article, the author briefly summarizes general problems of higher education, which are typical not only for the Russian university system but also, to one degree or another, for most n…

A Few Methodological Notes Based on the Field Observations of Rural Human Capital in the Russia's Non-Black Earth Region
The article presents some methodological considerations on the possibilities and limitations of the qualitative approach (repeated case studies in the specific Rus sian region) for the sociological assessment of human capital. In the first part of the arti cle, the author considers the Russian tradition of rural studies as combining two analyti cal 'optics' - sociological/ethnographic observations of local realities based on various combinations …
A Few Words About (Un)certainty and Its Management in the Rural Part of the Contemporary Uncertain World
On the benefits of mythologies for sociological imagination
The article is a sociological review-reflection on the non-sociological book by P.A. Sapronov Mythology of Secular Culture (Saint Petersburg: Publishing House “Petropolis”, 2023. 380 pp.) and aims at proving the usefulness of ex-disciplinary reading for understanding one’s subject field. From the title of the book, it is obvious that it is interesting for the sociological reader for at least two reasons. First, secularization is clearly a sociolo…
Rural human capital in the conceptual optics
In explanatory dictionaries, “post” is interpreted either as a prefix that has the same meaning as the word “after” (the most obvious and well-known examples from the social sphere are post-imperialist or post-colonial (world), post-Soviet (period), post-socialist (countries), etc.), or as the first part of compound words, denoting what exists/happens based on the second part of the word (post-impressionism, postmodernism, post-industrial, etc.) …
Two and a half undeservedly forgotten conceptual foundations of rural sociology
Although Russian society is strongly connected with the countryside and has deep ‘rural roots’, agrarian issues have always been somewhat marginal in the national scientific tradition, mainly in its social-scientific branch. Today the situation seems to change due to at least two globally urgent issues - sustainable food-security patterns (agricultural production) and rural social/human capital - which increase both theoretical and practical inte…
Russians’ ideas of heroes and heroism
Despite an extensive list of the well-described aspects of heroism, this phenomenon is still understudied in sociology. Most of the projects and publications focus on identifying ‘heroes’ in public opinion or media discourse rather than on explaining why communities/societies ‘appoint’ some people heroes, and what is the conventional meaning of the word ‘hero’. Society has always paid close attention to the so-called ‘outstanding personalities’: …

Russia's Ways to Ensure Food Security (Control Food Prices) in 2020-2022, and Their Impact on Consumers
This year confirmed an ambiguous situation with food security in Russia. On the one hand, the government insists on the achieved sustainable food self-sufficiency/sovereignty: "Russia is self-sufficient in all basic types of food", "the level of food security in Russia is one of the most reliable in the world", "the Eurasian Economic Union has reached a level of self-sufficiency in most food products (grain, vegetable oils, pork, lamb, sugar, egg…
Utopias of Alexander Bogdanov and Alexander Chayanov
A science-based conversation about the current state of rural areas, prospects for rural human capital and trends in rural differentiation is impossible without the conceptual approaches and futuristic projects of great Russian agrarian scientists.The article presents an attempt of comparing such ideas of two outstanding social thinkers of the early 20th century -Alexander Bogdanov and Alexander Chayanov, focusing on their utopias as representing…
Introduction. Special Issue - Differentiation in Contemporary Rural Societies
‘Core’ and ‘periphery’ of the concepts ‘happiness’ and ‘justice’
The article continues a series of publications based on the results of a long-term research project of the Sociology Chair of the RUDN University, which combines research and methodological study of the self-identification of Russian students in terms of happiness. At the current stage, two new ‘dimensions’ were added to the project: first, the contextualization of questions about happiness by the concept and elements of social justice (as its ‘e…

What Is the Agrarian Question? (Article of A.V. Chayanov)
This text is a translation into English of the brochure "What is the 'Agrarian Question'?" published by A.Chayanov in the summer of 1917, between the February and October Revolutions in Russia
Not About Land, Not Quite a Grab
In most literature in geography and agrarian studies, rural dispossession is neatly related to land rights or access, a trend that increased with debates about the recent wave of farmland investments worldwide. Drawing on long-term fieldwork in rural Russia, this paper critiques that focus and the assumed nexus between rural dispossession and farmland, as is prevents an understanding of more dispersed stakes, modes and temporalities of dispossess…
Ideology and Philosophy of the Successful Regional Development in Contemporary Russia
The article considers economic successes of the Belgorod region as significantly determined by the governor Yevgeny Savchenko' agrarian policies, which compensate for the region's small size and modest human capital. In 2017, the authors published an article describing economic policies and social programs of regional authorities; now the authors focus on the leadership by Yevgeny Savchenko, and his rather paradoxical personal and management view…

Justice as a criterion for assessing the ‘quality’ of urban space (and the happiness of its residents)
The article is a review-reflection on the book by D. Harvey Social Justice and the City (Moscow: New Literary Review; 2018). Despite the fact that social justice is in the title of the book as its focus, the researcher of justice would be disappointed, because justice is rather a cross-cutting idea of the political-economic analysis of the spatial organization of the city; however, the results of this analysis would inevitably make the reader thi…

The second part of Chayanov's book Main Ideas and Methods of Social Agronomy consists of chapters presenting the specific features of the Russian social-agronomic work among the peasantry.

Complex concepts with varying connotations
One of the fundamental challenges for sociology is the interpretation of its key terms, which is determined by the fact that many words of everyday language and scientific discourse are the same despite implying a much higher level of generalization as sociological categories. Certainly, such challenges are more typical for the empirical research - when sociologists turn their theoretical concepts into sets of empirical indicators which have to b…
How sociology of emotions is possible, and how it helps to understand happiness and justice
The article is a reflection-review of the book by Scott R. Harris An Invitation to the Sociology of Emotions (translated from English by O.A. Simonova; Moscow: HSE; 2020). Certainly, such a type of scientific works does not need a review after publication, but this book requires special attention for sociology of emotions seems to be a marginal area of Russian sociology, at least in the institutional perspective. After a brief description of the …
Three questions to start the sociological study of heroism
Despite the understandable and predictable lack of sociological interest in the issues related to heroism, the search for clear and unambiguous conceptual and empirical definitions of the hero in the contemporary society seems to be a relevant sociological task, especially under the current pandemic which made the criteria of heroism interesting for the wider public. The authors briefly outline the main aspects of the traditional scientific inter…
