Importance of study of foreign conceptions of industrial society for his professional development and general vision of sociological knowledge is proved. Specificity of Soviet «critique of bourgeois sociology» as a form of knowledge transfer are explicated. Transformation of attitude toward foreign conceptions as a variant of «normalization» and permanent use of a number of ideas, concepts and approaches in research and education is shown.
