Alexander Luria played a prominent role in the psychoanalytic community that flourished briefly in Soviet Russia in the decade following the 1917 October Revolution. In 1925 he co-wrote an introduction to Sigmund Freud's Beyond the Pleasure Principle with Lev Vygotsky, which argued that the conservatism of the instincts that Freud described might be overcome through the kind of radical social transformation then taking place in Russia. In attempting to bypass the backward looking aspects of Freud's theory, however, Luria and Vygotsky also did away with the tension between Eros and the death drive; precisely the element of Freud's essay they praised for being ‘dialectical’. This article theoretically unpicks Luria and Vygotsky's critique of psychoanalysis. It concludes by considering their optimistic ideological argument against the death drive with Luria's contemporaneous psychological research findings, proposing that Freud's ostensibly conservative theory may not have been as antithetical to revolutionary goals as Luria and Vygotsky assumed.

The Moment

This publication is devoted to one of the episodes of I. A. Ilyin’s activity in the period “between two revolutions”. Before the October revolution, the young philosopher was inspired by the events of February 1917 and devoted a lot of time to speeches and publications on the possibility of building a new order in the state. The published archive text indicates that the development of Ilyin’s doctrine “on legal consciousness” falls precisely at this tragic moment in the history of Russia.

Soviet radiology is the brainchild of the October Revolution. Indeed, it was only after October that the attention of the party and government paid to this young discipline and its adherents and pioneers gave birth to something that did not exist before the 1917 revolution - radiology as a discipline, as a subject of teaching, as a new method of recognition and treatment in the Soviet Union's health care system.

Care System

The question of the systematic improvement of doctors on a national scale arose only after the October Revolution and the transfer of the health care system into the hands of the state. The October Revolution, which brought with it the system of state health care, raised the acute and very real question of creating a cadre of doctors to carry out the tasks of Soviet health care. Thus, the training of doctors in our Soviet Union in general and their training in particular is directly dependent on the tasks of Soviet health care, which are inseparably linked in their turn to the realization of various general state tasks at a given point in time.
