ABSTRACT: Dmitriev's paper revisits and reconsiders university tradition in Soviet and post-Soviet era as it is reflected in Russian narratives about universities. The official discourse of the period of 1920s-1930s was characterized by the emphasis on the idea of revolutionary rupture with the old [imperial] university tradition. In contrast, from mid-1930s and later, still during Stalin's lifetime, the emphasis shifted to the discussions of the struggle of 'progressive professorship' for the advanced ideals and Russian science. Then, in 1960s-1980s the idea overcame of direct succession between Soviet and pre-Revolutionary university. After 1991 the idea of 'classic university' became the most important administrative concept and the rationale for privileges legitimization. The prominence of this notion is motivated by the desire to preserve the academic hierarchy and the intrinsic structure of the universiy of the Brezhnev era.
