The Sociological Institute was initially established in 1989 as a branch of the Moscow-based Institute of Sociology, on the basis of Sociological Division of the Institute of Socio-Economic Problems of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. In 2000 the St. Petersburg Branch of the Institute of Sociology was transformed into an independent Sociological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. As a result of reorganization the Federal Center of Theoretical and Applied Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Federal'nyi nauchno-issledovatel'skii sotsiologicheskii tsentr RAN—FNISTs) established in 2017. The Sociological Institute converted to its branch, and the Institute of Sociology in Moscow (E–12) became its department. The so-called Biographical Fond was established in 1989 within the Sector of Socio-Cultural Change and started accessioning biographical documentation. Starting in 1989 until 1999, the Institute also housed the St. Petersburg Archive-Collection of Nontraditional Periodicals and Documents of Social Movements (SPb AK), usually known as the “Alekseev Archive” (“Alekseevskii arkhv”). At the end of 1999 the Archive was forced to cease operations due to technical problems, but its holdings were preserved. In 2006 the Alekseev Archive was taken over and made publicly accessible through the “Memorial” Scientific Information Center of St. Petersburg (NITs “Memorial”, F–6) and their fonds were combined. |
