Abstract

The article presents the history of the first scientific sociological institution in the USSR in 1968. This event was important for the development of Russian sociological science, which for many years was in oblivion in our country. During its half-century history, the Institute changed its name – ICSI USSR Academy of Sciences, Institute of sociology RAS, FCTAS RAS, but remained a leading scientific sociological Institute. Over the years, it has accumulated a unique human potential – people, traditions, scientific schools. Today, the Institute maintains a leading position in Russian science, solving important tasks of studying the processes taking place in the Russian society, justifying scientific forecasts and giving recommendations. The new status of the Federal sociological center gives hope to the recognition by the government and the state of the important role of sociology in the understanding of society.
