[Xmca-l] Re: Vygotsky and Deborin

[Andy Blunden]

I've ordered David Bakhurst's book, which I hope will tell me even more, 
but thanks to Natalia Gajdamschko and via Natalia, Gena Kravtsova, and 
Anton Yasnitsky, I am now certain that Vygotsky never met Deborin, but 
he did collaborate with two of Deborin's supporters in writing a book on 
currents of Psychology in 1930, exactly the time I'm interested in, 
Osnovnye techeniia sovremennoi psikhologii, which is to be found at 
http://www.koob.ru/vigodsky_v_l/main_currents. Anton tells me that this 
collaboration had a very negative effect on Vygotsky's career, as 
Deborin was denounced in January 1931, but in my humble opinion, seems 
to have been invaluable in preparing Vygotsky to write "Thinking and 
Speech."
