The Scientists about the Scientists: Worlds and Myths of Novosibirsk Akademgorodok
DOI: 10.31518/2618-9100-2022-6-21
The article analyzes the most notable new publications about the history of Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Novosibirsk Scientific Center. Among them are a monograph by I.A. Kraineva, a book by E.V. Vishnevsky about M.A. Lavrentiev, memoirs by V.D. Ermikov and a collection about N.A. Pritvits. The author comes to the conclusion that the own history of Akademgorodok of Novosibirsk as an unique social and historical phenomenon is still clearly insufficiently researched. The author agrees with the high assessment of the Siberian city of Science, its unique intellectual and spiritual atmosphere. At the same time, the illegality of his idealization and apologetics is emphasized, since here, along with outstanding achievements, ambiguous, contradictory facts took place.
