The Socialist Academy of Social Sciences (Russian: Социалистическая академия общественных наук; SAON) was an educational establishment created in Russia in October 1918 with "the aim of studying and teaching social studies from the point of view of scientific socialism."[1] The original name of the academy was chosen over the proposal to call it the "Communist Academy", owing to objections raised by Left Socialist-Revolutionaries. They had supported the Bolshevik seizure of power in November 1917, but had withdrawn that support in March 1918. Nevertheless, they continued their involvement in such institutions as the Socialist Academy at this time.[2]
