Проблема науки и научного знания в русском анархизме

The paper considers the problem of scientific knowledge in the Russian anarchism. The analysis is based upon a number of texts by key representatives of anarchist thought in Russia from the end of the XIXth to the beginning of the XXIst century (Mikhail Bakunin, Peter Kropotkin, Alexey Borovoy, Gordin’s Brothers, Peter Ryabov). The author shows that the science in anarchism has the inconsistent status: in one contexts it is the powerful tool of a reorganization of society, in others – is perceived as a power and submission form.
