metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article, based on archival documents, shows the role of Professor E. G. Kagarov (1882–1942), an
  outstanding ethnographer and historian of religion, in creating the theoretical and methodological
  grounds for the expositions of the Museum of the History of Religion of the Academy of Sciences
  (1932). Kagarov was of similar minded to V. G. Bogoraz and was his close collaborator in the creation
  of the Museum as a new academic institution. Of course, Kagarov attracted Bogoraz not only by
  his encyclopaedic knowledge, but also by using in his works new methodological approaches in
  comparative religious studies as it was rapidly developing in Europe and Russia at that time. Kagarov’s
  views on mythology and religion, on approaches to the interpretation of sources, as well as on what
  could serve as a source for the study of ancient religions, differed significantly from the generally
  accepted ones and went beyond the narrow textual studies accepted in philological tradition. His
  appeal to the comparative method, the involvement in folklore and ethnography data for the analysis
  of ancient religion, was innovative for the domestic science. Kagarov believed that, beginning in the
  second half of the 19th century, in Western Europe the history of religions became an independent
  discipline, free from confessional frameworks. In Soviet Russia that academic science used “economic
  materialism” as a method of historical knowledge, treating religion as a reflection of production
  relations, conditioning the social and political system. The article is accompanied by the publication of
  the annotated list of works on the history of religion by E. G. Kagarov from the B. G. Bogoraz collection
  in the St. Petersburg branch of the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Refs 8.
