metadata.value: The article presents an analysis of the study of the phenomena of elite, political leadership, and
  political experts in the creative heritage of Fyodor Burlatsky (1927–2014). The subject of the study
  is Burlatsky’s approach to the elite and political leadership, as well as the role of experts in state
  and political decision-making. Modern domestic research of the phenomena of the elite and political
  leadership is based not only on studies of foreign political scientists, but also on the legacy
  of Soviet scientists. Appeal to the ideological and political heritage of Burlatsky allows us to show
  the results achieved in these areas. One of the first domestic researches of elites and political
  leadership was carried out in the early 1970s at the Institute for Specific Social Studies of the
  USSR Academy of Sciences. Using the developments of Western political science and synthesizing
  them with the achievements of Soviet scientists, a group of researchers analyzed the dynamics
  of the evolution of different groups of the elites in Western Europe and the United States.
  The results of this study were published in the book written by Fyodor Burlatsky in collaboration
  with Alexander Galkin “Sociology. Policy. International relations” and were further developed in the
  generalizing work “The modern Leviathan: Essays on the political sociology of capitalism”. The
  study and analysis of the phenomena of the elite and leadership awakened Burlatsky’s research
  interest to the theoretical description of the phenomenon of political experts. In the 1950s–1960s
  Burlatsky worked as a political expert of Nikita Khrushchev and headed a team of consultants for
  Yuri Andropov. Burlatsky was the first in the Soviet science to raise the issue of the political role of
  experts and their impact on state and political decision-making. After conducting a historical-political
  and political-textual analysis of Burlatsky’s publications, the author concludes that Burlatsky
  developed an original approach to the phenomena of elite and political leadership which goes
  against the dominant interpretations of political science that bring value and moral issues beyond
  the scope of political analysis. In addition, Burlatsky formulated the original typological model of
  political experts based on his personal experience as an adviser and classified them to the appropriate
  types: a) “adviser-thinker”, b) “adviser-prophet”, and c) “adviser-intriguer”.
