The first organizational form of the existence of religious science in Ukraine was the 1931 Anti-Religious Sector, which was formed in Kharkov as a part of the Institute of Philosophy and Natural Sciences of the All-Ukrainian Association of Scientific Research Institutes. His work was led by well-known sociologist D. Ignatyuk. In the sector worked I. Elvin, M. Krivohatsky, P. Chernitsov, O. Chefranov. The scientific production of the sector was published in magazines and published in separate brochures. Since 1937, after the abolition of Wandy and the transfer of its institutes to the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in this area, scientists of the philosophical commission of the socio-economic department of the ANU worked. We note the fact that at that time the development of knowledge about religion in the academic system was completely subordinated to the task of disseminating anti-religious knowledge and substantiating the ideologized "opium" assessments of religion.

The pressure to publish or so called rule of 'publish or perish' is now pervasive in many universities and research institutes. The development of worldwide scale bibliometric tools now allows for monitoring of the scientific production of individuals, by scientists and non-scientists alike. On the basis of few examples from the literature and my personal experience I will discuss the side effects on such development on the way research and education are prioritized and conducted in natural sciences and how this may be connected to the rapid increase in the number of scientific journals, often with open access policies.

W niniejszym artykule przedstawiona jest postać poznańskiego profesora, historyka, badacza dziejów osadnictwa słowiańskiego na terenach Europy Środkowej, redaktora Słownika starożytności słowiańskich – Andrzeja Wędzkiego (1927–2017).Widziany jest on poprzez pryzmat bogatej i ciekawej spuścizny, którą jeszcze za życia przygotowywał z myślą o przekazaniu jej takim instytucjom badawczym, jak Biblioteka Kórnicka czy Archiwum PAN. Przedstawiony powyżej fragment tej spuścizny wskazuje na zamiłowania Wędzkiego do kolekcjonowania i na odczuwaną potrzebę utrwalania w postaci opisów czy fotografii owej „ulotnej chwili”, na którą składają się: rodzinne relacje, wspomnienia, zapiski z wojennej tułaczki, podróży czy tablice genealogiczne przodków własnych i współmałżonki. Są one ważnym i ciekawym źródłem dla badacza szukającego informacji zarówno na temat jego osoby, jak również dziejów społeczeństwa polskiego na przestrzeni ostatnich 150 lat. Heritage as a source for examining the life and academic activity of Andrzej Wędzki (1927–2017), a historian and researcher of the history of Slavdom In the following article, we present the character of Andrzej Wędzki (1927–2017) — a Poznań-based professor, historian, and researcher of the history of Slavic settlements in the area of Central Europe, the editor of the Dictionary of Slavonic Antiquities (Słownik starożytności słowiańskich). Andrzej Wędzki is presented with regard to his very rich and interesting heritage which he himself had meant to will to scientific research institutes, such as the Library of Kórnik or the Archive of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The piece of his heritage that we presented above shows his great passion for collecting as well as preserving — by means of descriptions or photography — all those “elusive moments” such as family relations; memories; notes from the war, exile, or his travels; genealogical charts of his own ancestors or those of his wife. They are an essential, and at the same time very interesting, source for everyone willing to conduct research into the life of Andrzej Wędzki and the history of the Polish society in the last 150 years.

In the Leningrad of 1932–1933, two events took place in the academic world that would play an important role in the history of Soviet ethnography, museum construction and religious studies: the opening of the Museum of the History of Religion and the reorganization of the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography of the Academy of Sciences. At that time, the Academy of Sciences considered it a priority to establish research institutes on the basis of academic museums. If a small collective of the new Museum of the History of Religion, headed by its director Vladimir Bogoras, welcomed such an undertaking, then the reform of the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography, its merger with the Institute for the Study of the Peoples of the USSR and the creation of the Institute of Ethnography of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR on their basis was quite painful for many MAE staff and led to the layoff or change in the status of the employees. The article publishes drawings and texts found in the Photo Library of the State Museum of the History of Religion, in the St Petersburg branch of the RAS Archive, and in the Department of Manuscripts of the Russian National Library, reflecting these events in a satirical form. The author presents cartoons from the wall newspaper of the Museum of the History of Religion (1932–1933), depicting Vladimir Bogoras, an ironic note by Bogoras himself about the participation of scientific workers in the exhibition work, as well as a poem by Eugeny Kagarov’s “The Revised Iliad”, which satirically presents personnel changes at the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography in 1933. The author of the article notes the importance of the discovered satirical works as a source that, like memoirs and letters, reflects subjective impressions and demonstrates a personal attitude to what is happening. In the article, these documents are commented on in detail, showing their importance for the study of the history of the Leningrad community of ethnographers and historians of religion in the early 1930s.
