The author discusses a number of Russian economists, statisticians and mathematicians with whose works he became familiar as an economics student. He notes that the Russian authors’ works in the field of economic analysis (mathematical economics) outgrew the framework of the history of economic thought. After presenting their contributions, which emerged in less than two decades of Soviet socialism, he shows that the impact of Russian economists was of global importance and that their work overtook that of their Western counterparts. The economists presented are important for learning and teaching how to raise research problems and what research method to employ, but they are no less important for the philosophy of science.
