[xmca] A funny quote: Luria, A.N. Leontiev, & Velichkovsky :)

I just came across this text and thought this might be of some interest to some people out there. In his interview about A.N. Leontiev taken on September 12, 2002 Boris Velichkovsky mentioned inter alia  that "Alexander Romanovich [Luria] once quite harshly put it in my presence that he did not consider as related to scientific research anything that Leontiev was doing from the beginning of the 1940s onwards". Literally, --

Алек­сандр Ро­ма­но­вич од­на­ж­ды до­воль­но же­ст­ко ска­зал в мо­ем при­сут­ст­вии,
что не счи­та­ет то, что де­ла­ет Ле­он­ть­ев с на­ча­ла 40‑х го­дов имею­щим
от­но­ше­ние к нау­ке ( http://www.anleontiev.smysl.ru/vospomin/i-velich.htm )

Just I guess some food for thought about the school of Vygotsky-Leontiev-Luria (not sure about the canonical order of the names) and the theoretical foundations of the so-called CHAT :)...
