Zavershneva. ["I pray for the gift of spiritual effort": thoughts and moods of L. Vygotsky in 1917–1918.]

Abstract:
[Excerpts are given here, from the archival documents containing personal testimonies of L. Vygotsky, dating back to 1914–1918, from which it follows that in the pre-psychological period the scientist was acutely aware of the impossibility of full realization of his abilities, and also worked on the book "Against New Jewry". The book had a co-author hiding under the initials R. Yu. E. The found two letters from the correspondence of L. S. Vygotsky with R. E. show that their cooperation was very significant for the scientist on the eve of the revolution and that it was interrupted in the early 1920s. There were also found confirmation of the fact, that L. Vygotsky spent most of 1917-autumn at Samara town.]
