- Abstract
- The article is the first survey of the life and career of Nadezhda Vladimirovna Briullova-Shaskol'skaia (1886-1937), a scholar and political activist who spent years in exile and died under circumstances that involved the hand of NKVD (Soviet Secret Police organization, also known as People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs). Having begun her scholarly path as a historian studying the religion of the Ancient Rome, Briullova-Shaskol'skaia grew into an ethnologist. Being a member of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party in the 1910s, she was one of the leading experts on the so called national question in Russia. As an ethnologist, she was influenced by remarkable Russian scholar Lev Shternberg. The article draws on previously unknown archival materials and interviews with Briullova-Shas'oPskaia's relatives.
