History of Kharkov school of psychology documentary: period of 1931—1936

This paper presents the study on the history of the so-called Kharkov school of psychology that continues and expands our earlier research (see Yasnitsky & Ferrari, 2008a, 2008b). The history of the Kharkov group of Vygotsky's direct students, collaborators and followers up to now remains one of the «blank spots in the historiography of psychology» (Sokolova, 2003) and a «major hiatus in American knowledge about Soviet psychological research» (Cole, 1977), and this study clearly aims at filling this gap in our knowledge about early post-Vygotskian scholarship. Three main directions of psychological research in Kharkov are traced: investigation of higher mental functions in their development (animal, child and general psychology), degradation (clinical research on aphasia, alexia, and schizophrenia), and theoretical generalization of the empirical findings.
