In this volume the
authors discuss the fascinating and eventful
biographies as well as the significant scientific
work of Waldemar Jochelson, Waldemar Bogoras and
Lev Shternberg. They investigate the question of
how these men became involved in ethnography
towards the end of the 19th century, when they had
to spend many years as political exiles in remote
parts of northeastern Siberia.
This early revolutionary commitment shed light on
their empathetic and pioneering methods during
their later fieldwork with local people. At the
same time they incorporated important ideas from
American cultural anthropology gained from their
close collaboration with Franz Boas. Their initial
aims and methods were also reflected in the
ambitious community-oriented research programs
that they later conceptualized and launched
together with other colleagues at Leningrad
University.
