Yuriy Ivanovich Semenov (born September 5, 1929) is a Soviet and Russian historian, philosopher, ethnologist, anthropologist, expert on the history of philosophy, history of primitive society, and the theory of knowledge. He is also the original creator of the globally-formation (relay-stadial) concept of world history and is a Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Historical Sciences (1963), and Professor. He graduated from the history department of the Krasnoyarsk State Pedagogical Institute (1951). For a while he taught history in the provincial universities. After his work in the field of anthroposotsiogenesis attracted the attention of prominent scientists of Moscow, he defended his doctoral thesis at the Institute of Ethnography (1963). In 1967, Semenov became a professor of the Department of Philosophy of the Moscow Physical-Technical Institute (Dolgoprudny), where he has worked for half a century and continued to the present (fall 2015). Semenov has also worked at the Institute of World History, USSR Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology. Having begun a scientific career by studying the primitive society, Semenov simultaneously developed the problem of political society - first class societies that preceded feudalism. Research in this area led him to create the original globally stadial concept of world history. Throughout his academic career sharing the basic principles of Marxism, Semenov developed these ideas according to the new factual material, thus becoming one of the prominent members of the Soviet (and later - Russian) "creative Marxism".
