and of the social composition of the working class both in the USSR and abroad.
His works deal with labor issues, the democratic movement and the theory of
scientific communism. The institute’s name was changed in 1991 to the Problems of

Retrospect: Established in 1966 as the Institute of the International Workers’ Movement
in April 1991, the institute was reorganized under its present name. Its Director is
Timur T. Timofeev, a corresponding member of the RAS. The staff of the institute
numbers 294 researchers of whom 36 hold the doctorate and 137 hold the candidate
degree. There is one academician and one corresponding member of the Russian
Academy on the staff of the institute. The structure of the institute is complex and the
best picture of its work may best be shown by the kinds of research being
undertaken by its scientists: under T. T. Timofeev, E. V. Klopov, B. I. Koval’, A.
M. Salmin, and S. V. Patrushev, work is progressing on “comprehensive study of
problems facing various social movements in the changing world”--which includes
topics such as the following: socioeconomic policy and the dynamics of manpower
under S. V. Pronin, R. I. Tsvylev, and G. G. Pirogov; social and labor conflicts,
forms and methods of production democracy in various areas of economics; role of
trade unions under S. A. Ershov, P. Ia. Evzerov; the role of working masses in the
processes of renewal and democratization in Russia; analysis of changes in material
and social spheres under E. V. Klopov, and L. A. Gordon; trends in the
development of the workers’ movement in Russia, role of trade-unions and other
public organizations under the transition to the market economy under L. A.
Gordon; social and political problems of socialization of youth under V. N.

are working on two other major Academy-level programs--forecasts of
socioeconomic development and biospherical and ecological studies to 2015. The
institute has international relationships with a number of scholars and research
institutes throughout the world. (See A Scholars’ Guide. . .)
