Abstract
The ideal model of a «scientific school» introduced by J. B. Morell in 1972 attempted to determine factors that enable the development and functioning of such collectives of researchers. With time it has become increasingly clear that the model has its limitations, as admitted also by its author some twenty years after the initial publication, who urged treating it as heuristic. The current analysis follows these recommendations to discuss the role of different factors, not only the ones mentioned by Morell, in the histories of scientific schools. Often a group of younger researchers centered around a senior scholar is called a «school» without considering the actual relationship between the teacher and students and within the group as a whole, assuming by default a rather «idyllic» picture. Using a case study of the scientific school of the biologist Mikhail Mikhailovich Zavadovsky, this investigation shows how complicated such relationships can actually be.
