Abstract
V.A. Pulyarkin belongs to the bright scientists of the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He was one of those who saved Russian country studies from degradation in the Soviet era, directing it to the mainstream of problematic country studies. He was interested in the civilizations of Asia, the problems of agricultural development in developing countries, global problems of humanity, not only for the comprehension of geographical picture of the World. Pulyarkin looked at the World both as a geographer and as a philosopher, seeing in the East the main thing—the search for the foundations of the Universe. Pulyarkin was a staunch supporter of a unified geography. All his works are based on the trinity of nature, population, and economy. He was one of the first to consider the combination of special natural conditions in low latitudes with the relative economic backwardness of the South in the framework of the centre-periphery model, which has now become classic for world economic managers.
