Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The whole of Pitirim Sorokin's fascinating and difficult scientific life led to his fundamental works on urban-rural relationships being expressed in the terms 'rural-urban continuum' and 'rurbanism'. However, only a few special studies have been devoted to different aspects of his biography and scientific interests. The legacy of Sorokin as a rural sociologist has not yet become a subject of special studies in Russian social science. This contribution considers the key stages of Sorokin's scientific career as contributing to the development and institutionalization of rural sociology as a discipline closely connected with urban sociology.
