Oh, yes, just in case, the full-text quote from
Zinchenko V. P.:
В.П.Зинченко:
Леонтьев
не
хотел
дожить
до
выхода
в свет
трудов
Выготского.
И он не
дожил.
Он все
сделал,
чтоб не
дожить.
Никто,
кроме
Леонтьева,
не мог
написать
вступительную
статью
к
Собранию
сочинений
(таково
было
внушенное
им
общее
мнение),
а он не
писал
категорически.
Лурия
умер, не
дождался.
Уже все
готово,
несколько
томов в
издательстве
готово,
издательство
годами
ждет
статью
от
этого
занятого
человека.
В.В.Давыдов
жалуется.
Я
предложил
Давыдову:
слушай,
у тебя
есть
борзописец,
Леша
Радзиховский,
только
что
защитил
диссертацию
по
Выготскому.
Скажи
ему,
пусть
напишет
вступительную
статью
к
Собранию
сочинений,
возьми
эту
статью,
отнеси
сам
Леонтьеву,
скажи,
что ты
ее
написал
и от
него
требуется
только
подписать.
Так и
было
сделано.
Леонтьев
уже не
мог
отказать.
Не знаю,
найдут
ли
черновики,
есть ли
они? Это
единственный
способ
опровергнуть
сказанное.
2–3 года
тому
назад
меня
пригласили
на
20-летие
выпуска
Радзиховского,
я Лешу
увидел.
Я
говорю:
«Так
было?» Он:
«Владимир
Петрович,
все так
и было».
Это
отношение
Леонтьева
к
учителю...
