Aleksandr Logunov
Aleksandr P. Logunov, PhD (History), Professor, Dean of the Department of History, Political Science and Law at the Russian State University for the Humanities.
When my administration responsibilities and to-do list leave me a moment to catch my breath, I recall that my research interests (back when I had time for research interests) include teaching, and the study of historical consciousness and historical cognition.
I have published over 150 works, including 2 monographs and 3 textbooks. Among my favorite courses to teach are: "Historical psychology", "The History of Russia", "The History of Historical Science", and "The History of Political and Legal Concepts." Perhaps my favorite recent monograph is: "The Historiographical Culture of Russia in the Twentieth Century."
With little time for a hobby, my recreational activity recently has been exploring the topic: "What is good and what is bad?" with students and devising new means of praising the department with my superiors. If nothing else, these discussions are making me an expert negotiator.
In 2007 I will be teaching two courses at Middlebury: "Russian History of the Early 20th Century" and "Terrorism and Reaction."
