Abstract

B.S. Zhukov is one of the few Soviet archaeologists known in Europe. However, international contacts still remain the least studied page of his biography. The authors discuss two episodes related to this topic. The first one is connected with B.S. Zhukov's trip to Berlin in 1929 and his speech at the International Archaeological Congress, dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the founding of the German Archaeological Institute, as well as with the correspondence of the scientist with the administration of this institute. The second one concerns B.S. Zhukov's dialogue with the German archaeologist Gero von Merhart. Within the framework of article the documents valuable for the history of science are published in Russian for the first time: the text of B.S. Zhukov’ paper «Tardenoise in the Crimea. Neolithic in the Volga region», published in the collection of materials of the Berlin Congress in 1930, a letter from the scientist to the administration of the German Archaeological Institute, in which he thanks for being elected a corresponding member of the Institute and makes comments on the proofreading of the report, as well as a letter from B.S. Zhukov to G. Merhart, that is kept in the personal archive of the German archaeologist at the University of Marburg.
