David Riazanov (Russian: Дави́д Ряза́нов), born David Borisovich Goldendakh (Russian: Дави́д Бори́сович Гольдендах; 10 March 1870 - 21 January 1938), was a Russian revolutionary, historian, bibliographer and archivist. He had been an old associate of Leon Trotsky.[1][2] Riazanov founded the Marx-Engels Institute and edited the first large-scale effort to publish the collected works of these two founders of the modern socialist movement. Riazanov was a prominent victim of the Great Terror of the late 1930s.
"Marxology is a systematic scholarly approach to the understanding of Karl Marx and Marxism. The term was first used by David Ryazanov, librarian of the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow, around 1920 as he set out to publish the complete works of Marx and Engels. During the Second World War, Maximilien Rubel introduced the term into France. He was astonished by the lack of any sustained understanding of the life and works of Marx by self-proclaimed Marxists active in the French resistance during the occupation of Paris.[1]
Marxology in the Soviet Union
A number of official publications in the Soviet Union praised Ryazanov as a Marxologist in 1930. He was:[2]
“the most eminent Marxologist of our time”, Izvestia , 10 March 1930
“the most renowned and the most important of the Marxist scholars of our time” (Inprecor, no.26, 19 March 1930)
“under Riazonov’s direct scientific and administrative leadership, [the Marx-Engels Institute] accomplished impressive work …with his considerable scientific and investigative activity in the sphere of marxology”, Pravda
However during investigations in preparation for the 1931 Menshevik Trial, Ryazanov was implicated under duress by his colleague Isaak Illich Rubin and expelled from the Communist Party.[3]"
