Abstract

This first part of the interview with a well-known humanitarian, historian, orientalist, Indologist and theorist professor Leonid Borisovich Alaev is timed to coincide with his anniversary. The conversation touches on the main problems of Leonid B. Alaev’s research — questions of the history and theory of the community and primitive communal society, the Marxist approach to the humanities and modern search for patterns of historical development. Interviewers are interested in the history of Leonid B. Alaev’s family, his life path before entering Moscow State University and his assessment of the formation and development of Indology as a specialty of larger Oriental studies.
