I graduated from the Moscow State Institute of Foreign Languages, and the psychology department of the Moscow State University (M.V. Lomonosov).
In 1971-1973, I completed post-graduate courses in political and historical psychology at the Institute of Social Sciences, and in 1973-1992, I worked as assistant, reader, and Full Professor in the same disciplines, teaching foreign students political and historical psychology and some special courses in Spanish, Portuguese and English.
In 1978 I defended my Ph.D. thesis in psychology, and in 1990 in historical philosophy.
In 1992-2001, I worked as deputy editor of the academic journal “Social Sciences Today” and, at the same time, as Full Professor at the Moscow State University, the Russian Academy of State Service and other universities. From 2002 to the present I have worked as Senior Research Professor at the Institute for Oriental Studies (Russian Academy of Sciences), Professor at various universities, and the Editor-in Chief of academic journal “Historical Psychology & Sociology”. Besides, I delivered courses at the Centre for Humanist Studies in Buenos Aires (1999), the Adam Mickiewicz University (Poznan, 2003), Amsterdam University (2004), the Anthropological School in Mexico (2005), the National University for Distant Education (Madrid 2009).
I have published about 270 scientific, didactic, and popular papers (mostly in Russian, but also in English and Spanish), including 8 books. Among these are: “Intelligence in the Universe: origins, formation, and prospects” (1991); “Aggression, Morals, and the Crises in the Development of World Culture. Lectures” (1995; 2nd ed. 1996); “Civilization Crises within the Context of Big (Universal) History: Self-Organization, Psychology, and Forecasts” (2001; 2nd ed. 2004); “Psychology of Collective Behavior” (2001; 2nd ed. 2005); “Aggressive Crowds, Mass Panic and Rumors: Lectures in Social and Political Psychology” (2003); “Anthropology of Violence and Culture of Self-Organization: Essays on Evolutionary Historical Psychology” (2007; 2nd ed. 2008).
In my scientific work, I have always employed cross-disciplinary approaches, which involved various spheres of professional interest. These have included: social, political and historical psychology, historical sociology and cultural anthropology; methodology and history of science; Big History (human history as a phase in the evolution of the Universe). Particularly, having applied self-organization models, I developed an integral conception of evolution of psycho-cultural nonviolence mechanisms vs. growing violence opportunities as one of the mega-trends in social history and prehistory; this conceptual conclusion has been verified by multiple case studies and comparative indexes and calculations.
I have published on these subjects with leading publishers of books and journals in Russia, USA, Germany, Armenia, the Netherlands, Italia, Argentina, and Kirgizia.
At the moment, I am working as Senior Research Professor, as Full Professor at various universities and as editor.
The courses I deliver in various high schools include: Cultural Anthropology; Political Psychology; Psychology of Collective Behavior (aggressive crowds, mass panic, rumors, etc.); Evolution of Intelligence; Evolution of Social Non-Violence; Big (Universal) History; History and Methodology of Science; Global Ecology.
