Re: [xmca] Vygotsky and Trotsky

Hi,
In chapter 7 in Aleksandr Etkind's interesting book Eros
Nevosmomozjnogo (An impossible passion? - 'En omöjlig passion' in
Swedish) you can read about Trotskij's sympathy for psychoanalysis,

in chapter 8 - about Pedology (and LSV and others)

Perhaps Aron Zalkind could have been a link between LSV and Trotskij?
