Re: [xmca] help-me -- Rudneva, E. I. (1937/2000). Vygotsky's Pedological Distortions

[Anton Yasnitsky <the_yasya@yahoo.com>]

No problem. 


Speaking of Vygotsky "falling out of favor in Moscow", one needs to understand 
that, quite contrary to traditional fairly simplistic accounts, 1934-1936 was 
truly a "Golden Age" for -- dead by   then -- Vygotsky and his -- still alive -- 
followers: lots of stuff, including Vygotsky's stuff, was published by the 
group, for Vygotsky--posthumously. The discussion of this "Golden Age" first 
appears, I believe, in Yasnitsky, A. (2011). Lev Vygotsky: Philologist and 
Defectologist, A Socio-intellectual Biography. In Pickren, W., Dewsbury, D., & 
Wertheimer, M. (Eds.). Portraits of Pioneers in Developmental Psychology, vol. 
VII, but I am not so sure about that.

Thus, Rudneva's critique, as well as the critique of several other individuals 
that appears to have been directed at Vygotsky, despite appearance quite likely 
targeted not the dead man, but his socially and academically successful 
followers. Among others, most often several names were pronounced, such as 
Luria, Zankov, Elkonin, Shif, and Leontiev. Thus, in other words, we do not 
truly know what motivated these critiques and how they really affected the 
carreers and, generally, the course of events back there and then, but chances 
are the critique was originally meant by their authors much more socially than 
theoretically. By the way, for other critical publications of that time please 
see a marvelous issue of the Journal of Russian and East European Psychology 
that Rene van der Veer published more than a decade ago (Volume 38, Number 6 / 
November-December 2000 of Journal of Russian and East European Psychology):

 OR       http://mesharpe.metapress.com/link.asp?id=n73424205223 (both links 
seem to be good, I just am not sure which one might work this time, luckily, 
both)

FYI, all materials that came out in this journal have been digitized and from 
January 2011 are accessible/downloadable.

Thanks for sharing this piece. I've read many summaries about why LSV fell out 
of favor in Moscow, but this is the first truly contemporary (published in 1937 
originally, and reproduced here) vituperative attack that lays out the 
complaint.

Thanks Anton--
Bad fellow that LSV. No end of mischief, to this day.
Well, he got his just deserts. He died young of tuberculosis and totally
avoided lead poisoning!
