Reassembling history and anthropology in Russian anthropology: part I

Abstract

This two‐part overview of contemporary Russian anthropology focuses in detail on the work of several scholars and situates it in the changing landscape of Russian academia. The main issue I address is debates about an academic identity of Russian anthropology as ‘historical science’. Given that in Western anthropology, history has become one of the leading modes of anthropological analysis and that the turn to history marked a radical repositioning of anthropology's very subject, it is important to explore how such configurations of history and anthropology work in other anthropological traditions and what the reasons are for turning to history or, conversely, avoiding it, for specific national, continental and transnational anthropological schools. In this article, I explore these questions by focusing on anthropology in Russia with an aim of reassembling the relationship between anthropology and history from the point of view of the anthropology of time. I ask what temporal frameworks underscore the relationship between anthropology and history. I explore these understandings ethnographically, that is, through ethnographic interviews with Russian scholars in addition to close readings of their works.

Age-Related Changes in the Content of Proteins and Protein Fractions in Blood Serum

“…Perhaps, this explains the increase of these fractions involved mainly in the transport of substances (hormones, salts, lipoproteins). There are indications in the literature that blood protein content is little affected by age, particularly in the interval from 16 to 60 years [6]. However, according to our data, age-related changes in total protein and some protein fractions are noted if we compare the adolescent period (16-20 years) with the mature age -21-35 years.…”

“…In women, age-related endocrine shifts seem to play an important role in the regulation of protein and its fractions [2]. It is possible that age-related changes in the neuroendocrine system may influence the level of metabolism, the concentration of biochemical substances in the human body [6]. Biochemical parameters are little affected by age-related changes after adolescence up to 50-60 years of age [1,2,6].…”

The stability of some blood biochemical constants is explained by the fact that they should be within the strict limits of the norm [2].…”

The Corporation in Russia

“…In 2021 the term postsocialist has distinctly retro feel to it, and scholars have identified any number of new and compelling directions and/or organizing rubrics for future scholarship(Müller 2018;Ssorin-Chaikov 2019a, 2019b. Here, I mean to suggest only that the historical moment once known as "the transition" generated enormous and as yet understudied materialsbut far from the only materials-through which scholars of Russia might engage the larger scholarship on corporations.…”
