The entire issue of Dewey, Vygotsky, Russia, etc is horribly garbled.
Prawat is a fine scholar, but his imagining as about dewey and vygotsky
meeting are neither necessary nor plausible.

Bruce-- On the other hand, it is well documetned that Dewey went to the
USSR.

All-- Tread cautiously on disputed, twisted, and contentious historical
narratives. (This caution applies not only to the case at hand, as we
have been properly warned by reminders of memory of the turkish
extermination of Armenians-- also, I am sure, a contentious "truth."
