As a kind of new value that reflects the Coordinated Development among science, technology and society, science technology and arts, as well human and nature, STS draws much attention of the academic circles of the world and the society for it helps to overcome the conflicts rooted deeply in the traditional industrial civilization of the world, realize the faster and healthy development of global science-technology economy, and create the new civilization of human.As an exogenous country to study STS, China needs to borrow the experience and lessons from abroad. Comparing to the studies in Europe, U.S.A. and Japan, Russia contribute less in the field of STS. It is well known that China and Russia have practiced the same historical background the philosophical paradigms, and their philosophies have the tendency of convergence during a long period. Therefore the experience and lessons in the development of STS in Russia is of great importance to China. It is important to put forward the subject on Russian STS logical and disciplinary approach in order to study in the fields that Russian hasn’t explored, such as, what is the study outline? What is its characteristic comparing to other international study? How has the discipline approach progressed? What was the experience and lesson during the process of study of STS in Russia? And what are its contributions to China and the world. The study will focus on following contents based on above analysis as the logic starting point.Firstly, the study divides STS discipline into multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and hiperdisciplinary using the evolution logic as the tool, and think that the study on science and technology in the stage of multidisciplinary is scattered and isolated in the fields of humanities, for example, history of science, history of technology, scientific philosophy, technological philosophy, scientology and psychology of Science. Its approach of discipline mainly scatters in approach of science and technology. In the stage of interdisciplinary, technicalization of science and Scientific technology are the Significant characteristics of the technological development with the new technological revolution. In the stage of hiperdisciplinary, technology relates more and more to society, economy, education, arts and laws. The socialization of technology and the technicalization of society become clear, and it reflects the rise of STS from the approach of discipline.Secondly, the study analyzes the characteristic of the development in international and Russian STS study in the stage of multidisciplinary, summarizes the basic development of Russian scienology and technology, especially study the outline in the stage, which leads to the experience to China based on the analysis on its researches and the limits. The study concludes that it was not successful that Russian tried to realize technicalization of science through integrating the approach of science and technology in the practice, the rise and fall of scientology in Russia have prove that.Thirdly, analyzes the characteristics of STS in international and Russian study in the stage of interdiscipline, especially study the outline in the stage, which leads to the experience to China based on the analysis on its researches and the limits. It leads to a slow development of economic society because of ignoring the study of industry, which hindered the transformation of technology, even though Russian has integrated the science and technology.Lastly, analyzes the characteristics o international and Russian STS in the stage of hiperdisciplinary, mainly discusses the cause and its consequence based on the social transformation, the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the lack of ideological guidance of the disintegration. There are three main points as follows:1. Russia ignored the study on basis of socialist productivity, and considered that the industry is the basis of socialist productivity, which led to the overlook of new information of the technology revolution and the development of biology and new energetic resource industry. It led to the stagnation of social development and disintegration.2. Thanks to the lack of ideological guidance, STS study in Russia lost its aim.3. We should learn the relationship between the official ideology and the academic study correctly, improve Marxism philosophy constantly, and enable it meet the needs the social development, in order to avoid the consequence that happened in Russia.
