Sociology is the most recent addition to the social sciences.

August Comte, the

founder of sociology, coined the term "sociology" in 1839. He had planned to call the new
science social physics, but changed his mind after a Belgian researcher.

The term sociology is a mixture of the Latin word "socius" and the Greek word
"Logus". Logus denotes advanced research and socius denotes society. Sociology
etymologically refers to the study of culture.

In its most basic form, society can be described as interdependent men or human
beings. As a result, men in interdependence may be considered a sociological subject.

Sociology is the study of culture in its entirety. No other social science tries to look at
society as a whole. It is basically and profoundly concerned with the web of social
interactions that we refer to as culture. The complex network and ever-changing pattern of
social relationships can be described as society. Sociology, as described, is the science of
society refers to a body of empirical knowledge about culture.

Sociology is the study of human behavior in terms of groups, as well as human group
interactions. It has been said that the community, not the individual human being, is the
sociological datum. J. F. Cuber defines sociology as "a body of empirical knowledge about
human relationships".

The study of communities is known as sociology. Sociology is 'about' social

relationships, the network of relationships we call society. It is the science that deals with
social groups: their internal forms or modes of organization.

Sociology is the systematic study of social structures, including their structure, roles,
and relationships, as well as the patterns of continuity and transition that they exhibit. The
empirical study of human social life and communities is known as sociology.

We decided to work on Russia to know more about the development of Russian

sociology and the way how the events of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th
century were reflected in the work of Russian sociologists.

The era between the second half of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the
twentieth century was critical for the growth of Russian society and sociology. All of these
phenomena, including social, economic, and political shifts, as well as the revolution, had a
significant effect on Russian sociologists and philosophers' work. Many of them were
influenced by Western (mostly European) sociology, but they all mirrored events in Russia in
different ways in their works.

Changes in the economy, physical, moral, and spiritual spheres, as well as the
expansion of cultural needs, provided new conditions for sociology's development as a
discipline
