...Sorokin, formerly Professor of Sociology at the University of Petrograd, is perhaps the most distinguished authority on that subject in the world. As an author, he is perhaps better known than as a lecturer, for he has written a great deal on various phases of sociology, his most famous work being Social Mobility, which deals with contemporary sociological theories.
