Appendix: Visit to three Russian libraries

Abstract

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.
