Gérard Prunier, Ethiopian revolution as viewed by the Soviets or the political limits of anthropology.
This article first looks at the history of relations between Russia and Abyssinia prior to the 1917 Revolution, showing that Russia's interest for that African country came from a feeling of cultural proximity which went all the way to a proposal of unification of their two Churches. The Soviet renewal of that interest following the 1974 Ethiopian revolution gave rise, at the intellectual level, to a mechanical application of Marxist-Leninist anthropological concepts to the Ethiopian case. The conjunction of Brezhnevian Realpolilik interests and of a ideological anthropology resulted in a very mediocre intellectual output, in which the real Russian cthiopianists were silenced by the politicized "specialists."
