Annotation

The diversity and versatility of the creativity of the classic Russian psychologist V. P. Zinchenko also implicitly includes a number of works that can be attributed to the genre of historical-psychological research. The peculiarity of these studies in the works of V. P. Zinchenko is their compliance with the fundamental demands of life and problems of modern for V. P. Zinchenko psychology, also remaining relevant today. In his series of personological works entitled “To My Teachers and Honored Interlocutors,” the author singles out A.A. Ukhtomsky as the very first and his scientific heritage, which is highly valued by the author for its significance for modern domestic and, more broadly, world psychological science. An important feature of the personological approach in relevant studies by V.P. Zinchenko is, in our opinion, the resonance of the creative manifestations, character and actions of the person chosen for analysis — the author’s own intentions of the personality.
