Why was G. I. Chelpanov discharged? (Historiography of the fact)
(resume)
Traditional Soviet historiography of psychology
has shown G. I. Chelpanov's discharge (1923) from
the post of the head of Moscow Psychological
Institute as a natural result of his defeat in the
theoretical discussion with K. N. Kornilov.
However historical facts (such as A. Zaikind's and
P. Ef-russy's articles and newspaper reports on
the First All-Russian psychoneurological congress,
Moscow, January 1923) refute the traditional view
on Kornilov's theoretical victory. The origin of
this view relates back to the stereotyped
ideological pattern of the inevitable victory of
materialism in its struggle with idealism.
