Abstract

Mit diesem Beitrag möchte die Aufmerksamkeit auf einige Briefe lenken, die im Archiv der American Philosophical Society die Zeit überdauert haben und die Boas an zwei russiche Wissenschaftler schickte, die sich wahrscheinlich nicht persönlich kannten und sicherlich zwei verschiedenen Generationen russicher Anthropologen angehörten - der späten zaristischen sowie jener der Emigranten und der frühen sowjetischen.

The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to some letters that have survived the test of time in the archives of the American Philosophical Society, which Boas sent to two Russian scholars who probably did not know each other personally and certainly belonged to two different generations of Russian anthropologists - the late tsarist as well as that of the émigrés and the early Soviet.
