Subject: Pitirim??
Author: Elfstone   (Authenticated as Elfstone)
Date: February 13, 2006 at 7:44:22 AM
Rather a strange name, borne by Pitirim Sorokin, a sociologist, born in Russia (the region where I was born), but moved to the USA in the course of the Civil War and, therefore considered an American scientist... Sooo... Any information concerning meaning etc?
