“…We could find no evidence of any contact between the two researchers, except a reference to Arshavsky’s 1962 article in Voprosy Antropologii 12: 71–92 (Mateev, 1967: 13). While both Arshavsky and Mateev upheld the idea of the beneficial effects of physical activity against premature ageing, the former focused on the early stages of ontogenesis (Ozhiganova, 2023), and Mateev on adulthood and old age.…”

This article focuses on the emergence and development of gerontology in communist Bulgaria, looking at the interplay of various circumstances: scientific and political, national and international. We ask if an apparently ideologically neutral field of knowledge such as gerontology may have had some intrinsic qualities imbued by the regimes of knowledge production under a communist regime. More specifically, we ask to what extent and in which ways the production of such specialized, putatively universal knowledge could be ideologically driven and/or politically controlled. To this end, we unpack the ideological, political, institutional, and epistemic circumstances that may have affected the emergence, the institutionalization, and the paradigm of Bulgarian gerontology. We focus in on the social actors, both individuals and organizations, and the roles they played in the process, as well as on international networking and the uses of international contacts and agendas.
