Abstract
Based on the concept of the role of the socio-psychological “portrait” of a scientist, put forward by the well-known economist N.D. Kondratiev (1892—1938), the proposed article examines the main stages of the life path of the outstanding Russian economist, one of the founders of the trade union movement in Russia — Vladimir Vladimirovich Svyatlovsky (1871—1927); reveals the formation of Svyatlovsky as a Russian poet of the Silver Age, who was subjected to rather harsh criticism by A. Blok. The article describes V.V. Svyatlovsky’s participation in the labor movement before and after the revolution of 1905, reveals his role in the formation of the Russian trade union movement, shows the development in his works of the problems of the unattractive everyday life of the broad masses and their material condition as the central theme of the political economic works of the scientist, and also highlights the “poetic” component of the socio-economic theses of Svyatlovsky- Marxist.
