The article proposes an analytical description of axiomatic assumptions and theoretical languages co-existing in current Russian sociology. Analyzing metaphors, paradoxes and tautologies in sociologists’ public communication the author demonstrates how imperatives of Soviet sociology are reproduced in competition of “neo-Soviet” and “anti-Soviet” semantics. Defending “value sovereignty of science” principle, he examines the logic of “Soviet in post-Soviet” reproduction.
