摘要：The monographic section of this issue of EthnoAnthropology is dedicated to the history of the Russian anthropological sciences, to the museography and methodology of ethnographic research and finally to the visual anthropology in Russia. The essays of some prestigious exponents of anthropology, of anthropological museography and of Russian visual anthropology are published. This essay that introduces to the section intends to underline the ideas and themes we find particularly significant in the articles of the Eastern colleagues hosted here, also making parallels with scientific positions, themes and paths of Western and Italian anthropology and visual anthropology.
