Section of Social and Economic Problems and Statistics of the Maxim Gorky House of Scientists of Russian Academy of Sciences: History and Contemporaneity
Abstract
The article highlights and analyzes the key milestones for the Section of Socio-Economic Problems and Statistics of the Maxim Gorky House of Scientists of Russian Academy of Sciences, in connection with Section’s 65th anniversary and the forthcoming 100th anniversary of the House of Scientists (2020). The authors consider history leading up to the establishment of the Section in the second half of the 1950s and note challenges in combining efforts while conducting studies of socio-economic development of the country and research projects on national statistics. The evolution of the main activities of the section that meet the requirements of economic and statistical science, as well as practical activities at different stages of the development of the USSR and Russia, is shown. Descriptive overview of the Section’s performance is divided by several periods: 1950-1960s, 1970s, 1980-1990s, from 2000 onwards. The role of section leaders, leading scientists and practitioners in the formation of topics of the section meetings is reflected.
