The formulation of the names of the generations of the Odessa scientific community is differentiated in accordance with the ideological component of the dominant types of professional activity for each individual generation of Odessa scientists, which depended in each individually selected chronological period on the prevailing priorities of the formation of professional activity and the prosopographic palette of generation against the background of metamorphoses of available socio-political and sociocultural landscapes.

The gradual pulling of scientists into the yoke of official ideology and party-state control was noted, which led them to fear of the current government, disagreement with which led to a limitation of academic freedom, which manifested itself in total regulation and standardization of professional activity and various oppressions. As a result of which they were forced to indicate facts in their autobiographies that demonstrated their proletarian origin or their participation in revolutionary events on the side of the Bolsheviks.
