Who was Pavel Blonsky?

Pavel Petrovich Blonsky was a Soviet psychologist who lived in the Ukraine until 1918. He introduced the behaviorist approach in Russian psychology. During the 1930s he was severely criticized for his adherence to psychological testing and studies of inborn capabilities. 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".
