Abstract

The article describes the institutional context in which ethnology has developed in the former Soviet Republics outside of the Russian Federation. The author’s theoretical starting point is Berger and Lukman’s sociology of knowledge, which emphasizes the relation between the social context and the knowledge that arises in it. Changes in three sectors are considered: research institutes, University departments, and ethnographic museums. Further publications will employ statistical data on the thematic preferences of ethnologists in the USSR and post-Soviet countries during different time periods for empirical verification of this scheme.
