M. Weber in the Russian humanities of the XXth century
The article deals with the perception of M. Weber’s «Protestant Ethics and the Spirit of Capitalism» in the Russian humanities of the XXth century (pre-revolutionary period, Soviet period and the 1990s). The author argues that only the 1990s gave rise to favourable socio-political and intellectual conditions to research and practically apply Weber’s conception. The last has become the starting point of public and academic discussions about the past and present of the Russian capitalism and entrepreneurship, including that of Old Believers.
