Душа профессора Питирима Сорокина

Yuri Doykov, October 17, 2024

Можно было еще добавить,что как раз в середине 30-х годов

 многие русские друзья Питирима Александровича закончили

 свою жизнь в подвалах сталинских тюрем (Элиава,Бессонов,

Витязев-Седенко, и так далее…)

 

One could also add that in the mid-30s many Russian friends of Pitirim Alexandrovich ended their lives in the basements of Stalin’s prisons (Eliava, Bessonov, Vityazev-Sedenko, and so on…)
