Social sciences largely reflect how one's own society and the world are perceived. The article discusses the development of social sciences in the USSR, and then in Russia, focusing on four disciplines: political science, sociology, international relations, and psychology. The article shows that in the USSR, the theory of activity was developed in the field of psychology on the basis of Marxism and has gained recognition around the world. In the field of international relations in the USSR, the thesis was put forward about the peaceful coexistence of states with different social systems; today, with proper development, this thesis could be productive for understanding the coexistence in the modern world of various civilizations. The article also shows that after 1991, a significant breakthrough was made in terms of the institutionalization of the social sciences. From the subject point of view, social sciences now are not much different from those in other countries. In political science, international relations, and, partly, in sociology, there is an intensive discussion about whether Russia should integrate into global science or build its own social sciences.

This article discusses aspects of cultural criminology that are a continuation of the critical tradition on one hand and aspects that constitute qualitatively new insights on the other. Cultural criminology emerged in the 1990s as a branch of criminology building on the heritage of critical criminology and adapting it to changing social and political conditions. In attempting to respond to the analytical and ideological crisis in critical criminology, cultural criminologists have adapted new concepts (such as transgression and edgework), found new methods for researching liquid and complex phenomena, and engaged in activism to counter processes of othering in the public sphere. Cultural criminology focuses on several major problems: the tensions of late modernity in interactions between individuals and groups negotiating norms by and in upholding or breaking them; the presentation and reification of crime in the media; the spatial analysis of power relations. The article argues that the main focus of the field is understanding (Verstehen), based on the principle of sensitive criminological understanding, and enabling a discussion of multiple normativity and a praxis–oriented application of knowledge.

"While there have been many sociological and psychological studies of humor, few can claim to be funny. Humor may be regarded as a legitimate topic for social scientists, but in general, they present their research rather seriously. In academia, humor tends to be trivialized and dismissed. This is more than just a missed opportunity for otherwise fun-loving academics. In literature, it is readily accepted that comedy is integral to the human condition. To ignore humor is to reject a potentially insightful methodological approach, as the humorous worldview presents unique opportunities for investigating the social. This book constitutes a unique resource, presenting chapters on irony, satire and parody as tools for analysis and means of representation, as well as considering humor in the conduct of research, and offering guidance on getting published. Through presenting examples from across the social sciences, the book seeks to persuade and inspire rather than to prescribe an approach - a closure which would (ironically) be inimical to the multiplicity and ambiguity which characterizes humorous research and lends it its distinctive edge"--
