Abstract

This “bibliography with comment” is a complement of an extensive review of Russian works on the history of psychology published in the 1960s (Brožek, 1972, 1973, 1973a, 1974, 1974a). A separate report on the current Soviet historiography of physiology and psychology covered the activities in institutes of history of science and medicine, research institutes of physiology and psychology, and university departments (Brožek, 1971). Reference was made also to the relevant museums and archives. For a bibliography of older historical writings by both Western and Soviet authors see Brožek (1968).
