Well Peter your wish is my command-I have been able to locate Yaroshevsky's
book here in the US. It is a small paperback but as the saying goes good
things come in small packages. There is Russian Import store near my home and
they know my interest in Vygotsky very well. They have been able to bring over
a few copies of Yaroshevsky's text as well as Levitin's "One is not born a
personality" both in English. In Russian I have access to copies (a few) to
Vygotsky and Luria's 1993 edition of "Studies on the history of behaviour" and
the 1995 Vygotsky edition of "Problems of Defectology". If you or anyone else
is interested in getting a copy of any of these let me know asap and I could
try to get them and bring them to Chicago.
