Guillermo Blank is the author of "vygotsky: The Man and His Cause" (pp.
34-58) published in L. Moll (ed.) (1989) "Vygotsky and Education" Cambridge
U. Press. It is one of the best biographical sketches of V.’s life I have
ever seen. I am not sure, I saw once reference on Dr. Blank’s book
"Vygotsky" in Spanish (but it could be an article as well).
I know for sure that Blank met with Zeigarnick personally and he met
many times with Gita in 1979-81.
On page 43, Blank wrote about the historic meeting between L. and V.:
"Of all the great encounters in the field of psychology, this was one that
Bruner (conversation, May 7, 1987) always imagined and would not have missed
for anything in the world" Boris
