Recently in Moscow was published the volume of 600 pages which combines my four Soviet books published in 1970s.I would dare to say that these four books until now are used by students in Russia as textbooks on various methodological issues. Besides the volume contains a lot of data collected in my surveys in the 1960-70s which never were published before. The volume also includes my long interview with Boris Doktorov, a well-known Russian sociologist, "My life as a sociologist :there and here". This interview aroused stormy debates in Russia. Parts of the interview were published in sociological journals such as "Sotsialnaia realnost" (Moscow ) and "Telelsko" (SPB) .

Here is the title of the volume: Vladimir Shlapentokh, The quality of sociological information:validity, representativness and prognostic potential. Moscow:Zentr sozialnogo prognozirovania, 2006 (in Russian).
