Evgeny Evgenievich Slutsky (which is sometimes transliterated as Evgenii Evgen'evich Slutskii) was the son of Evgenii Slutskii who was a schoolteacher. The family moved from Yaroslavl province, in western Russia, to the Ukraine andthere Slutsky entered a classical gymnasium where the main emphasis was on the study of mathematics and the physical sciences. He was awarded the gold medal by the gymnasium in 1899.
After leaving school Slutsky entered the University of Kiev in 1899 to study mathematics. He was soon involved in student politics and he participated in student unrest at the university. Two students had been expelledfrom the University for their political views and Slutsky participated in illegal meetings of the student body which gave its support to the two expelled students and demanded their reinstatement. Student trouble makers were dealt with by giving them a spell in the army. That is precisely what happened to Slutsky in January 1901, but he was not given a particularly long spell and he was soon backat Kiev University. The following year he was in trouble again, and this time he was expelled and forbidden to study at any Russian institution of higher education, so there was no chance to complete his studies at Kiev (or anywhere else in Russia).
Slutsky had little choice if he wanted an education so he went abroad and entered Munich Polytechnikum entering in 1902. He wrote in his autobiographyIn Munich I seriously studied Ricardo, Marx, Lenin ... I already had outlined a plan of work for the application of mathematics to economics..
He was able to complete a degree in engineering in Munich and he returned to Kiev in 1905. The political situation in Kiev was by then rather different, for the Russian Revolution had begun early in that year with major demonstrations, strikes, armedrevolts, and mutinies in the military. The ban on Slutsky attending Russian higher education institutions was meaningless in the new political situation so he could study again at the University of Kiev. This time he went for a course more in keeping with his political interests, taking a degree in political economics in the Faculty of Law. He graduated with the Gold Medal in 1911 for his paper Thetheory of marginal utility.
His interest in statistics was greatly enhanced when he met A V Leontovich in 1912. Leontovich was a physiologist who had been studying the statistical ideas of Gauss and Pearson and he gave Slutsky material on statistical techniques. Slutsky was quickly involved with this work, and still in 1912 he published a text in Kiev entitled The theory of correlation. FromJanuary 1913 until 1926 he taught at the Kiev Institute of Commerce where he was promoted to professor in 1920. Then in 1926 he moved to the government statistics offices in Moscow and began working there in January of that year.
The government statistics offices were part of the Conjuncture Institute run by N D Kondratiev who was a leading economist and advisor to the Soviet leadership onagricultural policies. Slutsky had been a supporter of the revolution when a student but now he became much more careful in making his views known. He wrote in his autobiography
... when capitalism collapsed in Russia and I came to describe the contours of a planned socialist economic order, the basis for this from the economic-mathematical point of view disappeared. studying the economic process under...
