Social History of Science
A. S. Lappo-Danilevsky and the project of publishing the collected work Russian Science
Malinov A. V.
In 1917 the Academy of Sciences established a special commission to prepare and publish a comprehensive survey of the development of science in the Russian Empire. The collective volume Russian Science aimed to demonstrate the achievements of Russian scholars over the preceding two centuries in all academic fields, from theology, philosophy, and the humanities to the social and natural sciences. Simultaneous Russian and French-language editions were planned, but academician A. S. Lappo-Danilevsky, head of the commission, died in 1919 and the work was not completed. Only a few essays were published in separate editions. Materials preserved in the Archive of the Academy of Sciences document the history and planned structure of the entire project and its impact on the subsequent institutionalization of history of science in the country under the aegis of the Commission on the History of Knowledge, launched by the Academy of Sciences in 1921 and headed by V. I. Vernadsky.
Key words: Academy of Sciences, history of science, Lappo-Danilevsky A. S., Russian Science
