Creation
The early works of A. V. Poletaev are associated with identifying the dynamics of the modern American economy against the background of historical indicators. Since the late 1980s, the subject of his interest has been long-term and cyclical processes in the world economy (the legacy of ND Kondratyev and the idea of \u200b\u200b"long waves"), taking into account the achievements of American cliometry and the latest approaches to the study of economic history. Particularly significant is the series of works by A.V. Poletaev (performed jointly with I.M.Savelyeva) on the modern theory of history and the study of the evolution of images of the past in different eras. The focus of research in recent years is the problem of the classical heritage in world and domestic science, an innovative formulation of the problems of comparative science of science, as well as an assessment of the prospects and directions of theoretical reflection in modern social science.
Since October 2010, his name has been assigned.

Notes
An excerpt characterizing Poletaev, Andrey Vladimirovich
When he went over in his imagination all this strange Russian campaign, in which not a single battle was won, in which neither banners, nor guns, nor corps of troops were taken in two months, when he looked at the covertly sad faces of those around him and listened to reports that that the Russians are still standing - a terrible feeling, similar to the feeling experienced in dreams, seized him, and all the unfortunate accidents that could ruin him occurred to him. The Russians could attack his left wing, they could tear his middle, a stray cannonball could kill him. All this was possible. In his previous battles, he considered only the chances of success, but now countless accidents appeared to him, and he expected them all. Yes, it was like in a dream, when a person imagines an attacking villain, and the person in a dream swung and hit his villain with that terrible effort that, he knows, should destroy him, and feels that his hand, powerless and soft, falls like a rag, and the horror of irresistible death grips the helpless man.The news that the Russians were attacking the left flank of the French army aroused this horror in Napoleon. He sat silently under the mound on a folding chair, head bowed and elbows on his knees. Berthier approached him and offered to take a ride along the line to see what state the case was in.
- What? What are you talking about? - said Napoleon. - Yes, tell me to give me a horse.
He sat on horseback and rode towards Semyonovsky.
In the slowly spreading powder smoke throughout the entire space through which Napoleon rode, horses and people lay in pools of blood, singly and in heaps. Napoleon and none of his generals have ever seen such horror, such a number of killed in such a small space. The rumble of guns, which did not stop for ten hours in a row and exhausted the ear, gave special significance to the spectacle (like music in living pictures). Napoleon rode to the height of Semyonovsky and through the smoke saw rows of people in uniforms of colors unusual for his eyes. They were Russians.
The Russians stood in dense rows behind Semyonovsky and the kurgan, and their guns hummed and smoked incessantly along their line. The battle was gone. There was an ongoing assassination that could lead neither the Russians nor the French to anything. Napoleon stopped his horse and fell back into the same reverie from which Berthier had brought him; he could not stop the work that was being done in front of him and around him and which was considered to be directed by him and dependent on him, and this work to him for the first time, due to failure, seemed unnecessary and terrible.
One of the generals who drove up to Napoleon took the liberty of suggesting that he bring the old guard into action. Ney and Berthier, who were standing beside Napoleon, looked at each other and smiled contemptuously at the general's senseless proposal.
Napoleon lowered his head and was silent for a long time.
- A huit cent lieux de France je ne ferai pas demolir ma garde, [For three thousand two hundred miles from France, I cannot afford to defeat my guard.] - he said and, turning his horse, rode back to Shevardin.
Kutuzov was sitting, his gray head bowed and his heavy body lowered, on a carpeted bench, in the very place where Pierre had seen him in the morning. He did not make any orders, but only agreed or did not agree to what was offered to him.
“Yes, yes, do it,” he replied to various proposals. - Yes, yes, go, my dear, look, - he turned to one, then to another of the close ones; or: “No, don't, we'd better wait,” he said. He listened to reports brought to him, gave orders when it was required by his subordinates; but, listening to the reports, he did not seem to be interested in the meaning of the words that were being told to him, but something else in the expressions of the persons who reported in the tone of speech interested him. With his many years of military experience, he knew with his senile mind that it was impossible for one person to lead hundreds of thousands of people fighting death, and he knew that the fate of the battle was not decided by the orders of the commander-in-chief, not the place where the troops were stationed, not the number of guns and killed people. and that elusive force, called the spirit of the army, and he followed this force and directed it, as far as it was in his power.
The general expression on Kutuzov's face was concentrated, calm attention and tension, barely overcoming the tiredness of a weak and old body.
At eleven o'clock in the morning they brought him the news that the flushes occupied by the French were again repulsed, but that Prince Bagration was wounded. Kutuzov gasped and shook his head.
“Go to Prince Peter Ivanovich and find out in detail what and how,” he said to one of the adjutants, and after that he turned to Prince Virtemberg, who was standing behind him:
“Would your highness please take command of the first army?
Soon after the prince's departure, so soon that he still could not get to Semyonovsky, the prince's adjutant returned from him and reported to his lordship that the prince was asking for troops.
Kutuzov winced and sent Dokhturov the order to take command of the first army, and the prince, without whom, as he said, he could not do at these important moments, asked to return to his place. When the news of the capture of Murat was brought and the staff congratulated Kutuzov, he smiled.
“Wait, gentlemen,” he said. “The battle has been won, and there is nothing unusual about the capture of Murat. But it's better to wait to rejoice. “However, he sent an adjutant to drive through the troops with this news.
When Shcherbinin galloped from the left flank with a report about the French occupation of the flushes and Semenovsky, Kutuzov, guessing from the sounds of the battlefield and from Shcherbinin's face that the news was bad, stood up, as if stretching his legs, and, taking Shcherbinin's arm, took him aside ...
- Go, my dear, - he said to Ermolov, - see if there is anything you can do.
Kutuzov was in Gorki, in the center of the position of the Russian army. The attack directed by Napoleon on our left flank was repulsed several times. In the center, the French did not move further than Borodin. From the left flank Uvarov's cavalry forced the French to flee.
In the third hour, the attacks of the French stopped. On all the faces who came from the battlefield, and on those who stood around him, Kutuzov read an expression of tension that reached the highest degree. Kutuzov was pleased with the success of the day beyond expectations. But physical strength left the old man. Several times his head sank low, as if falling, and he dozed off. Dinner was served to him.
Died Andrey Vladimirovich Poletaev
On September 18, our colleague, a multiple author of "Demoscope Weekly" and "Population and Society", an ordinary professor at the State University - Higher School of Economics, Deputy Director of the Institute of Humanitarian Historical and Theoretical Research of the State University - Higher School of Economics, Andrei Poletaev, passed away. Together with friends and relatives of Andrey Poletaev, Demoscope mourns the death of this extraordinary person.
We are reprinting the obituary signed by Andrey Vladimirovich's colleagues at the Institute and are publishing the farewell words of his friends - Vladimir Avtonomov, Leonid Grigoriev, and Vladimir Gimpelson ..
An unusually gifted and versatile educated scientist, the author of numerous books, he was a renowned specialist in the sociology of knowledge and the history of ideas, the methodology of historical science and the economic history of modern and contemporary times. A brilliant researcher and teacher, Andrei Vladimirovich was a man endowed with a high sense of responsibility, scientific adherence to principles and exactingness towards himself and colleagues. Everything he did, he did according to the "Hamburg score", at the highest professional level. One of the last things in which Andrey Vladimirovich put a lot of energy, soul and talent was the creation of the Faculty of History at the State University - Higher School of Economics. On September 21, he was supposed to read his first lectures to the students of the new faculty for the first time ...
Andrey Vladimirovich Poletaev was an encyclopedist and innovator in everything: in research, in the organization of scientific activity and in how he prepared future scientists for it. He knew how to combine the rigor of the method, precision and accuracy in handling material with research audacity and brilliant intuition.
Having entered the Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov, he chose economic cybernetics - a specialty with which, for all its relevance and prestige in the world, the ban was barely lifted in Soviet times; a specialty that assumed equally deep knowledge in mathematical and economic disciplines. While still a student, he, like many future founders of the new Russian economic science, taught at the legendary School of Economics and Mathematics at Moscow State University - EMS, founded in 1968.
Andrei Vladimirovich began his research work at the Institute of World Economy and International Relations (IMEMO) under the leadership of Revold Mikhailovich Entov. At the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, his work, together with the work of his teacher and colleagues at IMEMO, allowed Russian economic science to become a science in the full sense of the word - without regard to ideological and censorship circumstances. A professional "foreigner", he was always guided by the modern level of scientific knowledge, remembering the need for the "Hamburg account". His works were very daring for their time: dealing with the problem of resource allocation in the capitalist (market) economy, he questioned the ideas, dogmatic for Soviet economics, about the monopoly role of the state in this process. The priority of scientific rigor over ideological engagement, characteristic of his research style, was an important feature necessary for the transition of Russian science to new thinking. Very early on, having received his doctorate (in 1989) and a professorship (in 1994), Andrei Vladimirovich never left teaching. He became the mentor of several generations of scientists: his students are now among those who determine the appearance of domestic economic science.
Most of the "guild" connoisseurs of the past probably recognized Andrei Vladimirovich from the late 1990s, from his historical and theoretical works. But his interest in bygone eras was organically linked with his previous economic and statistical studies, with work on translations and mastering the works of the classics of Western economic thought at the height of "developed socialism."
His path from "strict" science to "non-strict" science is unique in that he never lowered the standards for the logic of argumentation and the accuracy of the results. The economy of the perestroika USSR, the history of the recognition of Russian economists in the West, macroeconomic indicators and their explanatory potential, comparative statistical analysis - behind all his "non-humanitarian" studies was the same thought, attentive to particulars and details, but retaining the architectonics and systemic nature of holistic knowledge. Without this, the THESIS almanac would not have taken place in the early 1990s, uniting the "best of the best" - economists, historians, sociologists - without the condescending division into "local" and "local". Andrei Vladimirovich was among those few people who, with their works, speeches and indispensable personal efforts in various institutions, contributed to the fact that this very, previously obvious to everyone, border between world and domestic science becomes permeable and in some ways already only geographical ...
The combination of strong theoretical thinking with the broadest erudition and kulturtrager will allowed Andrey Vladimirovich to radically influence the state of the theory of historical knowledge in Russia: in his works of recent years, the most important actual achievements of Western social thought were taken into account, generalized and transformed; they offer a new toolkit for the study of historical reality. The organizational work that Andrei Vladimirovich has been conducting in recent years had as its main goal the creation of such institutional forms that would allow him to fully implement his theoretical and humanitarian project - a project for the synthesis of research, pedagogy and innovative strategies of scientific administration.
The first step towards the implementation of this project was the founding, by joint efforts with Irina Maksimovna Savelyeva, of the Institute of Humanitarian Historical and Theoretical Research at SU-HSE in 2002. Andrei Vladimirovich owes its birth to the recently opened Faculty of History at HSE. The systemic property of institutions, at the origins of which Andrei Vladimirovich stood, is a unique energy potential, breadth of prospects and a variety of development opportunities.
He forced everyone around him to live such a stormy and eventful life that it is very difficult to believe in his death. His contribution and place in the panorama of modern Russian social science are unique. No matter how attentive he himself is to macro-tendencies, countable patterns and collective indicators in the dynamics of knowledge, there is no one to replace it in science as a common enterprise.
He passed away so early and so quickly that we did not even have time to say goodbye to him. Now we feel only one thing - the loss of a loved one. And this feeling drowns out everything else. For many years we lived next to him, talked with him, argued, we loved to laugh together so much. After his departure, a gaping void formed.
IGITI team
Friends of Andrey Vladimirovich Poletaev - we just cannot believe that he left.
Most of his colleagues and students in the last fifteen years know him mainly as a strict professor, one of the leaders of ISITI, publisher of THESIS, author of brilliant books, critic of scientific works.
We know him as a brilliant conversationalist, a man of endless charm, the greatest possible general erudition and a sense of humor - for us he is Andy. In the 70s, he taught children at the EMS and quite convincingly played the Eeyore Donkey in the English Musical Theater at the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University. He played guitar, sang and wrote his songs. Until the 21st century, we played the "continental" together in 14 pas. We will be happy and proud to remember the pragmatic youth that he drank beer with us!
And he also has a theoretical doctorate in economics at the age of 37 at the IMEMO Academy of Sciences - at the rate of return from ancient times to the present day. And plus a lot of books on statistics and education, and a lot of something interesting done and invented. Everything is always absolutely professional - it has become an "assay chamber" for assessing the quality of work in several sciences at once.
His talent and versatility would be enough for five areas of knowledge, five professional science clubs and five fun companies. He was a formative player on any such team or company. And our common memory of the outstanding economist and historian Andrei Poletaev will naturally live together with our common memory of a cheerful talented man who has never aged at all during the four decades that we were happily friends with him!
Leonid Grigoriev
Andrei was very different: in his student years - the soul of society, with a guitar, on the stage of the English Theater of the Faculty of Economics, the captain of the KVN team at the anniversary of our beloved School of Economics and Mathematics. There was lightness in him, even some charming frivolity.
At IMEMO, in the famous Entova sector, Andrey purposefully pursued a scientific and social career, did not waste time on stupid things like chess, go and other games to which we paid tribute, relatively early for our leisurely sector he defended himself, joined the party, became the chairman of the Council of Young scientists. Discovered good literary style and the qualities of an excellent scientific editor. We were prepared for the fact that one day he would be our boss. But it was not there! On the next round, Andrei abruptly went into pure science, and in a field quite far from his initial studies. Together with Irina Savelyeva, he managed to create such interesting and generally useful things for the participants as the almanac "TEZIS", the Institute of IGITI, write many scientific books, when practically no one wrote them. He liked to say that he had ceased to be an economist, but his articles about the state of our economic science and education, published from time to time, have always attracted attention with their sharpness and evidence.
Whatever Andrey did, he was never boring, it was always interesting around him. Most of my life has gone with him.
Vladimir Avtonomov,
Dean of the Faculty of Economics, SU-HSE, Corresponding Member RAS
It is impossible to believe that Andrey Poletaev is gone and we will never see him again. The severity of this loss is beyond words.
Andrei was distinguished by a special human wisdom and tremendous intellectual depth, harmoniously combined with other wonderful and also very rare qualities - a huge demand for oneself, immense responsibility, an extraordinary sense of humor, endless efficiency, encyclopedicism and at the same time tact and simplicity in communication. He was remarkably generously rewarded with many and varied talents. Economist, historian, sociologist, statistician, philosopher, ... Andrei was interested in a lot, but in everything he did, he got to the point and achieved perfection. It was a great joy to "drag" him into a new project and work side by side. He left and now on very different issues there is simply no one to consult with. We are all orphaned ...

There is hardly a person who has not held a ballpoint pen in his hand and once caught himself drawing intricate patterns on paper during boring lectures or meetings. Until recently, this item had an exclusively utilitarian function and was used by 20th century artists only to create sketches. Now drawing with a ballpoint pen began to rapidly gain popularity in art circles as an independent direction.
Andrey Poletaev, an artist from Ukraine, has specialized in drawing with a ballpoint pen for many years. With only this simple tool and paper at his disposal, he creates gorgeous drawings, from sun-drenched cityscapes to compelling celebrity portraits.
Andrei's exhibitions are held all over the world: in Germany, Switzerland, France, but the artist's drawings have won special attention in the USA, where at the exhibition of art and cinema in Nashville his drawing won in four nominations at once.
Despite his growing popularity, Andrei demonstrates his work to the public, but he himself prefers to remain in the shadows: in his opinion, the drawings themselves speak for the artist. Nevertheless, Anastasia Teplitskaya contacted Andrey and asked several questions about the intricacies of creating masterpieces with a ballpoint pen.
Artifex: When did you first apply the technique of drawing with a ballpoint pen?
I think even when I was in school and, sitting at the back of the classroom, drew seals on the form of a medical certificate for exemption from lessons.
Artifex: Did it work?
Although I didn't do it often, when I did it, it came out flawlessly.
Artifex: You wrote on your website that you periodically use different techniques: oil, pencils, markers, but, nevertheless, a regular ballpoint pen is your favorite tool. Why?
It is difficult to unequivocally answer this question. To understand why I preferred a ballpoint pen, the viewer needs to see the original of my drawing. What can be seen through a monitor, even at best, conveys less than half of the experience of viewing the original.
Artifex: Don't you think that the “potential” of a ballpoint pen is not rich enough for artistic expression?
No, not at all. Drawing with a ballpoint pen has only recently appeared as an independent direction in art. And it still has many unrevealed facets. After all, even some 5-10 years ago, a ballpoint pen was not used at all by artists to create works of art. And now the viewer can see that high-quality works are created with its help. I think there are many more interesting things to see in the future.
Artifex: I wonder how many pens do you need for one drawing?
It depends on the pen and on the design. For a big job, I think, from one to three.
Artifex: I would venture to suggest that, unlike many people, you treat the choice of this subject with great attention and exactingness. What should be your ballpoint pen?
In different regions, outlets give preference to different manufacturers, but you can always find something worthy. There are manufacturers where even the cheapest pen can outperform the expensive pen of some other manufacturers. As for my choice, it all depends on my mood and what I want to get in the end. Pens can be very diverse: from cheap to expensive, with a diameter of 0.28 mm. up to 1.4 mm.
Artifex: How many of them do you have in stock?
I am not a supporter of making large stocks of pens, over time they tend to dry out, which can negatively affect work. But all the same, I have much more pens than an ordinary person.
Artifex: What are the difficulties when working with a ballpoint pen?
The most difficult thing, perhaps, is that when working with ink, the right to make mistakes is excluded. Once written on paper, it remains there forever. Considering that some of the work takes up to 300 hours, this puts some pressure.
In addition, when drawing with a ballpoint pen, I am limited in color, and working in monochrome, I have to constantly solve a lot of problems. For example, how to convey an image, preserving it as much as possible and at the same time using only one color. I have been asked several times why I don't use colored ballpoint pens. The answer is simple. If you pay attention to the large sets of colored pens, then on many you can see that the manufacturer does not recommend using them for signing documents. It is not known how colored ink will behave in 10-20 years, so there is no desire to take risks.
Artifex: What is the hardest thing for you to draw?
I do not see the work as difficult or simple, but only look at the time that needs to be spent. Any artist draws well what he likes and does it as well as he wants. The biggest enemy of my job is time. And attempts to fight it do not leave the best imprint on its quality. So if I want to draw something better, I just spend more time on it. Probably, for myself, I measure the complexity of work in hours.
Artifex: In one of your interviews you said that in your works "You never try to bare anything and turn it out ..."
Yes, I always emphasize that in my works I touch on the simplest subjects. Everything that we can meet in everyday life. The life of a modern person is so impetuous that we cease to notice what is around us. I just catch a moment, give the viewer the opportunity to become an outside observer and, imperceptibly for the world around him, look at him from the outside. And then, if the plot at least to some extent hooked the viewer, then he will be able to find something for himself.
Artifex: Please tell us why you prefer to remain incognito for the press and fans?
I show the viewer only my creative part. The artist's work should speak for him. I prefer to keep my personal life for myself, and who and what ate at dinner, who has better selfies - there are enough of them without me. As for the press, I am always open for contact, but communication takes place through my official representative. And I reserve the opportunity to visit my own exhibitions as a spectator.
Artifex: Have you ever heard any interesting criticism addressed to you?
Unfortunately not. The sharpest criticism is my own.
Artifex: They say that any writer with any of his works first of all shows himself, and the artist himself appears before the viewer on his canvases. Do you think that you can learn about you as a person by looking at your drawings?
Here you could praise yourself, but the answer is simple: what he does and how he acts speaks about a person. Therefore, it is not for me to judge myself.
