Abstract

In the article, the author describes, analyzes and interprets documents related to the earliest attempt at professional and academic commemoration of the scientific research practices of newspaper scientists at the State Journalism Institute (SJI). This is primarily the correspondence (1964–1967, Russian State Archive of Literature and Art) of two active participants in the life of the first domestic educational institution for journalists of the 1920s: Tomsk journalist V. A. Kuzmichev (1903–1994), graduate of the post-graduate school of SJI, and his former supervisor M.S. Gus (1900–1984). On the basis of commenting on the correspondents’ personal letters introduced into scientific circulation, the author shows how toxic the topic of the formation and existence of the first scientific journalism school was, even three and a half decades after its liquidation.
