Declining or Waning

While the journal continues to explore a wide range of sociological themes, certain areas of research have seen a decline in prominence over recent years. This shift reflects changing societal priorities and emerging interests within the field.
  1. Traditional Class Analysis:
    Research focused on traditional class structures and dynamics has diminished, likely due to a shift towards more nuanced understandings of social stratification and the emergence of new social categories.
  2. Soviet-era Sociology:
    The examination of Soviet-era sociological theories and practices is becoming less frequent, as contemporary sociological discourse increasingly prioritizes current issues and global perspectives.
  3. Rural Sociology:
    Research specifically targeting rural sociological issues has waned, possibly overshadowed by urban studies and the complexities of urbanization in modern Russia.
  4. Static Demographic Studies:
    There has been a noticeable reduction in static demographic studies, as the focus has shifted towards dynamic analyses that consider the impact of migration and socio-economic changes.
  5. Gender Studies in Isolation:
    While gender issues remain important, the focus on gender studies as a standalone category has declined, with more integrated approaches emerging that consider intersectionality with other social factors.
