Abstract
Historians in the tsarist empire were grouped within universities, the Academy of Sciences, and private associations. After 1917 the Bolsheviks retained this institutional division of labor, which allotted research to the academy and teaching to the universities. The academy was called the Russian Academy until 1925, when it was renamed the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. Until the mid-1930s, there were independent and semiautonomous institutes associated with universities, such as the Institute of History of Material Culture in Leningrad. Marxists were organized in the Socialist Academy (1918). Renamed the Communist Academy in 1923, this body became part of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in 1936. Until they were incorporated into the All-Union Academy, Marxist institutes and their historical sections existed alongside the Russian Academy of Sciences, which had its own Historical-Philological Section.
