Popis: This article examines the history of Russian sociology from the viewpoint of sociology of knowledge, specifically the period of history from the early 1990’s to the mid-2000’s. The external historical context, as well as the internal mental and theoretical-methodological consequences associated with the fall of Marxist-Leninist ideology are all analyzed. Digressing from the emotional psychological experiences and value judgments of sociologists, the author sees an ideological challenge in the void that arose in place of Marxism-Leninism. His focus is on the actual responses to this challenge in the form of attempts made by Russian sociologists to fill and comprehend said void. In particular, the author touches upon the “polyparadigmatic approach” concept proposed by V.A. Yadov, in association with the controversy that arose between him and the creator of this concept. The author considers the “epistemological anarchism” doctrine by P. Feyerabend and finds that it has a lot in common with the concept of a “polyparadigm approach”.
