Yulian V. Bromley, Abram I. Pershitz, Spontaneous and stimulated development of traditional societies in the light of the theory of social and economic structures.
In the past, the theory of social and economic structures was vulgarized to mean that the spontaneous development of nearly all of the human societies took each of them through almost every formative stage. But most recently it was recognized in Soviet science that societies receive an impetus from without, and kind of catch up with those which have outstripped them in their historical development. Although not a single society is absolutely spontaneous in its development and not a single one has been able to assimilate organically any outside stimulus without having been prepared first to such digestion by ils own internal development, there are always iastances of both mostly spontaneous and mostly stimulated development as conditioned by different natural and geographic circumstances and by concrete historical causes.
The path of "mostly spontaneous" development has led traditional societies nearly invariably to historical backwardness and its apology, that ranges from the ideas of Africanism and the like to the concept of cultural relativism in Western anthropology, made people merely admire this sort of backwardness. However, the path of "mostly stimulated" development is always wrought for the traditional societies, which are not always sufficiently prepared by their internal evolution to take a leap through one or two formational stages, with some quite contradictory consequences.
