The Kitchen and the Dacha: Productive Spaces of Soviet Mathematics
In the late 1960s and 70s, due to the Soviet regime’s crackdown on dissident activities and rising anti-Semitic policies, many mathematicians from “undesirable” groups faced discrimination and serious administrative restrictions on work and study at top-ranking official institutions. To overcome such barriers, the mathematical community built extensive social networks around informal or semi-formal study groups and seminars, which formed a parallel social infrastructure for learning and research.
As result, mathematical activity began shifting from public educational and research institutions into private or semi-private settings – family apartments, summer dachas, and countryside walks. For many Soviet mathematicians, instead of being a refuge from work, their home apartments and dachas became their primary working spaces – places where they did their research, met with students, and exchanged ideas with colleagues. At the intersection of work and private life, a tightly knit mathematical community emerged, whose commitment to scholarship went beyond formal duty or required curriculum, a community practicing mathematics as a “way of life.” The parallel social infrastructure functioned in tense interdependency with formal institutions and borrowed some characteristics of the official system it opposed.
Earlier versions of this paper were presented at several forums: Colloquium for the History of Russian and Soviet Science (CHORUS) (May 2021, online), 26th International Congress of History of Science and Technology (July 2021, online), “History of Science and Technology. Museum Studies” (December 2021, online), and “‘Minority science’ in the Short 20th Century: Imagining Science from the Margins of Academia” (April 2023, Prague). I am profoundly grateful to the participants of these conferences and two anonymous reviewers for their helpful feedback and suggestions.
