Edition Details: Volume title: “Intelligentsia Science Inside and Outside Russia”
The success of the second importation of science to Russia during the Great Reforms of the 1860s is illustrated by examining the extended postdoctoral study of chemists in Heidelberg. While there, they adapted the Russian intelligentsia institution of the circle, or kruzhok, to cope with their alienation from the German culture they were confronting. Upon their return to Russia, they felt the lack of the communicative network they had established while abroad and reimported the kruzhok to serve as a central model for the formation of the Russian Chemical Society in 1868.
...MoreDescription On the establishment of informal Russian institutions by Russians doing postdoctoral study at Heidelberg and the reimportation of these institutions to Russia upon their return.
