At the turn of the XX–XXI centuries, G. M. Andreeva, an outstanding worldclass Russian scientist, made a fundamental contribution to the development of theoretical and applied sections of social and psychological and philosophicalsociological knowledge. In connection with her centenary, it is relevant to study the life experience of G. M. Andreeva as one of the founders of post-war Soviet sociology and as the creator of social psychology as an innovative scientific and educational discipline. The novelty of the article lies in the scientific analysis of G. M. Andreeva’s interdisciplinary searches — from social philosophy through empirical sociology and social psychology to higher education pedagogy. By means of institutional-personological and subjective-activity approaches, both the main achievements of G. M. Andreeva’s 65-year scientific and pedagogical activity at Moscow State University and a number of universities, as well as the psychodidactic means of teaching social psychology in higher education developed by her, are characterized.
