The sixth generation of sociologists is already writing our history

The theoretical layer of this article acquaints its readers with a series of conceptual postulates and conclusions from the historical-sociological research conducted by B.Z. Doktorov which is based on interviews with Russian sociologists. The empirical chapter consists of fragments of interviews conducted by Doktorov with D.G. Podvoiskiy and D.M. Rogozin, which helps grasp the teaching style of G.S. Batygin and reveal certain features of his personality. In the generational typology of Russian sociologists, which is under development by Doktorov, Batygin belongs to the fourth professional generation, while Podvoiskiy and Rogozin belong to the sixth. The recollections of young sociologists about their mentor are an example of effective communication between generations within the sociological community, and they cover certain aspects of our modern history. The authors consider the article in question to be a respectful tribute to G.S. Batygin — a pioneer in applying the biographical method of studying the history of Russian sociology
