This study provides a critical history of Russian psychology. The author analyzes Pavlovian theory of conditioned reflexes, Lenin's and Stalin's theories of political mental development, and the explorations of consciousness by Dostoevsky, Chekhov and Mandelstam in the context of Russia's revolutionary development from the 1860s to the 1960s. He describes state policies from Tsarist relaxation of censorship to the intense revolutionary assertion of thought control and then, starting in the 1950s, the renewed retreat towards the modern norm of intellectual autonomy.
