The article analyzes the monograph of A.B. Rakhmanov Social Philosophy of Max Weber, in which criticism of Weber's sociology is used as an excuse for the revivification of Marxist social utopia. Since the author's argument depends entirely on its ideological beliefs, it has zero value in scientific terms, but may serve as a useful starting point for diagnosing the current state of Russian sociology, especially in the context of its social utility.

“Leaderlessness” is widely held to be a defining feature of contemporary mass mobilization, yet the claim rests on a handful of recent cases. We offer the first systematic cross-national analysis of this phenomenon from 1791 to 2019. We show that the absence of leadership is real but older and more modest than claimed: the share ...

We argue that a classification-based approach to measuring cultural differences across countries or subnational regions is a promising complement, and sometimes an alternative, to the widely used dimensional method in cross-cultural research. The latter summarises cultural variation using continuous dimensions, for example, Hofstede’s famous individualism-collectivism dimension. However, this approach relies on strong parametric assumptions, which are ...

Non-probability web surveys offer several advantages over face-to-face (F2F) interviews—they are cheaper, faster, more accessible, and reduce interviewer effects and desirability bias. As such, they are increasingly popular in both academic and commercial research. However, they often yield demographically biased samples, raising concerns about the accuracy of the resulting public opinion estimates. Most studies on ...

In 1988 sociology was officially included in the list of scientific specializations of the Higher Attestation Commission (HAC) as an independent discipline. Nevertheless, there were several ideological practices ...

Для понимания какого-либо качества, как правило, выбирается, некоторая подходящая для его оценки шкала (скажем, от 1 до 5), и, согласно этой шкале, качеству присваиваются одна или несколько оценок. Эти оценки затем преобразуются в одну, “усредненную”, оценку; например, выбирается среднее арифметическое. Так, несданная сессия с тремя баллами 5, 2 и 5 “характеризуется’’ средней оценкой хорошо: (5+2+5)/3 = ...
