Science and Research

Krylov’s main scientific focuses are psychoanalytical anthropology, human identity, communication and social change. According to him, traditional psychoanalysis has evolved from psychotherapy to philosophy. In his monograph “Evolution of Identity” (2010) he showed that the understanding of a human-being is influenced by social change. According to Krylov, the modern human being does no longer try to define himself through traditional identities, but increasingly through new ones.[5] In his monograph “Religious Identities: individual and collective assertiveness in the post-industrial space” he shows that religion is one of the most important factors of identity. His research in the area of economics makes him one of the pioneers of communication management in Eastern Europe. According to Krylov, the development of new forms of management is a sign of the increasing social sensitization of business.[6][7] His research in the area of business and management is closely connected to communication psychology, morality and ethics.
