| Summary: | The paper discusses the materiality of marine science in Russia from the example of the Barents Sea. This sea became a scientific frontier in the late nineteenth century and in the first decades of the twentieth century by being included into the international research programme of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea. The advantage of Russia was the possibility to get the very first Europe research vessel. The legacy of this period lasted into early Soviet time, when oceanography also developed around a research vessel that became a core of the Floating Maritime Institute. The study of the materiality of research is enriched by a focus on gender in marine science. |
