The article discusses academic freedom in the Russian institutional context. The establishment of some distance to what a scholar is studying and his/her ability to change the research methodology depending on particular circumstances are considered as elements of academic freedom. A case study of the scholarly career of Professor Viktor Makarenko informs the analysis. This case is deemed to be extreme/deviant.
