Pitirim??
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? ___________________________________________'Do not be grieved for me, Starbrow,' she said. 'Nor too much ashamed of your own folk.
