Abstract

. The book “Agrarians, power, and the village: from past to present” by Alexander M. Nikulin (Publishing House “Delo”, Moscow, 2014) is notable for the fact that it examines the two hundred year history of interaction between the government and agrarian scientists. In particular, the author presents biographical information about such outstanding scientists as A.I. Vasilchikov, F.A. Shcherbina A.V. Chayanov, G.A. Studenskiy, L.N. Litoshenko, S.S. Maslov, P.A. Sorokin, A.D. Bilimovich, T.I. Zaslavskaya, and V.P. Danilov. The book cites little-known facts about the American experts who worked inRussia during the 1920‑1930’s, such as Harold Ware, Lement Harris and Thomas Campbell. A.M. Nikulin’s book sheds light on the long history of the Russian village and the relationship between the government and agrarian scientists. This publication is extremely relevant for the sake of revamping these relationships on a new foundation.
