Khroniki postsovetskoi gumanitarnoi nauki - Mil'china

It is difficult to imagine science without conferences, without reports and their discussions. It is in a lively dialogue that scientists check their conclusions, express new ideas, hot and joke, come to agreement and disagree. But "what remains of the fairy tale after it is told?" Is it possible to travel back in time and hear how passions boiled at the first post-Soviet humanitarian conferences? It turns out that it is possible: this atmosphere is preserved in the reports on thirty historical and philological readings of 1991-2017, written by Vera Milchina, a leading researcher of the IWG RGSU and SHAGI RANHIGS. Her book can be read as a guide to the works of the last twenty-five years, and it is possible - as a fragment of the collective memory of the scientific community and an outline to the portrait of a whole generation of scientists who have gone and are now living.
