Pitirim Alexandrovich Sorokin (/səˈrkɪn, sɔː-/;[1] Russian: Питири́м Алекса́ндрович Соро́кин; 4 February [O.S. 23 January] 1889 – 10 February 1968) was a Russian American sociologist and political activist, who contributed to the social cycle theory.

Sorokin was a professor at Saint Petersburg Imperial University. He was repressed by Vladimir Lenin's communist regime, which led Sorokin to flee to Czechoslovakia with the help of Thomas Masaryk and Edouard Benes.[2] He became a professor of sociology at the Uversity of Minnesota in 1924.[2] In 1930, he was hired as head of the newly formed department of sociology at Harvard University.[2]

A member of the Socialist Revolutionary Party in Russia, he was arrested multiple times by both the Czarist regime and the communist regime.
