Pavel Blonsky

Pavel Petrovich Blonsky (May 14 (26), 1884, Kiev – February 14, 1941, Moscow) was a Russian Soviet psychologist and philosopher who lived in the Ukraine until 1918. Blonsky was one of the main theorists of Soviet Paedology and introduced the behaviorist approach in Russian psychology (under the label "objective Marxist psychology"). During the 1930s he was severely criticized for his adherence to psychological testing and studies of inborn capabilities (which contradicted the official Soviet ideology of "inborn equality of all people"). Blonsky's search for a new psychology began with the condemnation of philosophical idealism that he - the specialist in Plato and neo-Platonism - now considered to be clearly irreconcilable with "normal common sense".
