the politics of physiological psychology ivan pavlov s suppressed defense of scientific freedom and its consequences
Integrative Physiological and Behavioral Science, 1993Co-Authors: Irving Louis HorowitzAbstract:This statement, first presented at a plenary session of the Pavlovian Society on 9 October 1992, in Los Angeles, California, attempts to assess the recently released speech delivered by Ivan Pavlov in 1923, but publicly brought to light only in 1991, on the subject of “Communist Dogmatism and the Autonomy of Science.” This speech, noteworthy for the courage of the delivery under adverse circumstances no less than the contents of its remarks, compels a new estimate of the place of science in a Totalitarian System boasting an ideology of physiological psychology. It also sheds new light on the Russian Nobel laureate and pioneer in the areas of behavior modification induced by the functions of the higher nervous System.

It also sheds new light on the Russian Nobel laureate and pioneer in the areas of behavior modification induced by the functions of the higher nervous System. These remarks take an in-depth view of American radical and Marxian appraisals — how they followed the Soviet lead in harnessing Pavlov to the Communist cause, and in attempting to discredit the work of Sigmund Freud. This lethal combination of Communist political needs and ideological proclivities served to rationalize the implementation of slave labor as work therapy during the Stalinist era. The linkage of Pavlov to Makarenko in education and Michurin in biology serves as a case study in the manufacture of tradition. The collapse of the Soviet System permits a recasting of the history of science and Pavlov’s place in Russian life. Such new conditions also provide a lesson in the distortive role of ideology in the evolution of modern science.

The politics of physiological psychology. Ivan Pavlov's suppressed defense of scientific freedom and its consequences.

The Formation of Bulgarian Countercultures: Rock Music, Socialism, and After
East Central Europe, 2011Co-Authors: Vladimir TrendafilovAbstract:[The article traces the evolution of musical counterculture in Bulgaria from the 1960s down to the present time. A special attention is given to its burgeoning during socialism—the creation of the early rock groups, the difficulties they met on their way to achieving popularity and style, and their uneven struggle with the various censorship strictures. The significant details and stages of this process are viewed against the background of emergent socialist consumer culture, a dubious product of the interplay between the Totalitarian System and the cultural impact of the West. And, last but not least, the development of present-day trends and tastes in Bulgarian popular music is interpreted as a basic transformation of the forces that constitute the field of conflict between counterculture and the mainstream., The article traces the evolution of musical counterculture in Bulgaria from the 1960s down to the present time.

Russian family policy in transition: implications for families and professionals.
The Social service review, 2001Co-Authors: Amy C. Butler, Ludmilla G. KuraevaAbstract:Russia's political transition from a Totalitarian System to a fledgling democracy has brought Russian families new legal rights, at least on paper. The 1996 Family Code gives parents the right to rear their children as they think best rather than in the manner directed by official state ideology. However, parents face a number of obstacles in realizing their new rights in contemporary Russia. These include traditional ways of thinking about child rearing, limited information and choices for parents, vested interests of professionals, absence of detailed regulations to guide the implementation of the new laws, and lack of local resources.

The Paideia Archive: Twentieth World Congress of Philosophy - The Moral Aspect of Political Protest under the Totalitarian System
The Paideia Archive: Twentieth World Congress of Philosophy, 1998Co-Authors: Tadeusz BuksinskiAbstract:The paper concerns the principles presupposed in political protest against the Totalitarian regime. In contrast to the utilitarian view of participating in political protest (K.D.Opp, M. Taylor) the author tries to suggest the moral model of political protest. According to this model, the main reason and motif for challenging the regime is the transgression of the limits of concession, which jeopardizes the spiritual identity and essential qualities of the individuals and all groups (i.e., Church, family, nation). The participants of the protest do not calculate in terms of egoistic or private interests and utilities but in terms of moral values. They consider what action is morally "good" and "bad" or morally "better" or "worse" in this situation, disregarding their personal profits and happiness. The overthrow of the communist System is an incalculating and contingent result of combating the extreme manifestations and worst excesses of the System.

Appendix: Visit to three Russian libraries
Reference Services Review, 1996Co-Authors: Victoria SpainAbstract:During 15–25 July 1995, a trip was made to Russia by students and faculty members of the Hofstra University psychology department, as part of its exchange program with St. Petersburg State University. This program was first organized in 1990 by Howard Kassinove, chairperson of the psychology department at Hofstra, in conjunction with Alexander I. Yuriev, head of the Department of Political Psychology at St. Petersburg State University. Professor Sergey Tsytsarev and others assisted. This is the first such department in Russia, initiated by Yuriev “when the foundations of the Totalitarian System started shaking…and lots of people were involved in political activities,” stated Albert A. Krylov, dean of the psychology department.
