L.S. Vygotsky: Reading Anew. Part 1.
The article dwells on the earlier period of Vygotsky’s works before the time when the principles of the Cultural Historic Theory were formulated. His report on the 2nd Psycho-Neurologic Congress in 1924 as well as some adjacent works including “The historical sense of psychological crisis” are considered by the author as key moments. If to compare Vygotsky’s approach with I.P. Pavlov’s theory of conditioned reflex, V.M. Bechterev’s reflexology and K.N. Kornilov’s reactology,from one side, and psychology, from the other, it reveals Vygotsky’s determination to restructure psychology on the objective basis. In his opinion this implies the turn of psychology to higher forms of human’s behavior, actually, to human activity. In these methodological changes of Vygotsky’s views one can trace certain relations of Vygotsky’s early works with P.Ya. Galperin’s theoretical survey on subject and method of psychology.</p
On the Psychological Mechanism of Ontogenetic Development in the Context of Developmental and Educational Psychology
AbstractThe article offers the author's view of the psychological mechanism for the development of a child. It is regarded as the process of ripening and resolving of fundamental contradictions between the child's system of relations and modes of activity acquired by him. Underlined by the author is the objective nature of ontogenetic development as well as the role of child's motivation as a driver of necessary transformations of the child's activity leading to his psychological growth. The similarities and differences between the author's approach and that of D. B. Elkonin are precisely traced. The author’ arguments are supported by a lot of evidence from the theory and practice of developmental and educational psychology with special focus on the role of social institutions

The definitive version was published in Journal of Geophysical Research 115 (2010): C08023, doi:10.1029/2009JC005453.The Chukchi Sea (CS) circulation reconstructed for September 1990 to October 1991 from sea ice and ocean data is presented and analyzed. The core of the observational data used in this study comprises the records from 12 moorings deployed in 1990 and 1991 in U.S. and Russian waters and two hydrographic surveys conducted in the region in the fall of 1990 and 1991. The observations are processed by a two-step data assimilation procedure involving the Pan-Arctic Ice-Ocean Modeling and Assimilation System (employing a nudging algorithm for sea ice data assimilation) and the Semi-implicit Ocean Model [utilizing a conventional four-dimensional variational (4D-var) assimilation technique]. The reconstructed CS circulation is studied to identify pathways and assess residence times of Pacific water in the region; quantify the balances of volume, freshwater, and heat content; and determine the leading dynamical factors configuring the CS circulation. It is found that in 1990–1991 (high AO index and a cyclonic circulation regime) Pacific water transiting the CS toward the Canada basin followed two major pathways, namely via Herald Canyon (Herald branch of circulation, 0.23 Sv) and between Herald Shoal and Cape Lisburne (central branch of circulation and Alaskan Coastal Current, 0.32 Sv). The annual mean flow through Long Strait was negligible (0.01 Sv). Typical residence time of Pacific water in the region varied between 150 days for waters entering the CS in September and 270 days for waters entering in February/March. Momentum balance analysis reveals that geostrophic balance between barotropic pressure gradient and Coriolis force dominated for most of the year. Baroclinic effects were important for circulation only in the regions with large horizontal salinity gradients associated with the fresh Alaskan and Siberian coastal currents and the Cape Lisburne and Great Siberian polynyas. In the polynyas, the baroclinic effects were due to strong salinification and convection processes associated with sea ice formation.Panteleev, Proshutinsky, Nechaev, and

MODERNIZATION OF THE RUSSIAN DOCTORAL PROGRAMS IN EDUCATION: THE SEARCH OF MODELS IN AN INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT
The article addresses the prospects of modernization of the Russian doctoral programs in education in the context of its internationalization. The author analyzes the challenges that arise in front of the Russian educational postgraduate school in connection with the vector of its modernization and internationalization. Based on the analysis of doctoral programs in education of the world leading universities (top 25 QS rankings in the subject «Education ») and the study of the discussion in the scientific literature, the author identifies the main patterns and trends of development of doctoral programs in education in the modern world. This analysis allows to specify challenges and opportunities that Russian educational postgraduate school faces in the process of modernization and internationalization

Ice-Hockey Training Process Design Methods
The purpose of the thesis was to investigate features of ice hockey, the required qualities of its players, main stages of long-term training and then implement the gained knowledge in creating an actual methodology of training for young players. A thoroughly planned and constructed training process allows athletes to achieve maximal results. The primary objective was to study essential steps in constructing a training program.
The theoretical framework comprises the characteristics of ice hockey, physical qualities of players as well as describing the structure of micro-, meso- and macrocycles in detail. The theoretical research was based on careful study of sport and fitness literature. The empirical part focuses on an actual training program for young ice hockey players of 13-14 years and contains the results of its implementation. The method was designed by the author based on his theoretical knowledge and coaching experience.
The result of the thesis was the implementation of an actual training program aimed at improving the speed qualities of young ice hockey players and an analysis of the gained results
Category of Development as the Basis of Psychologicaland Pedagogical Research in Education
The article dwells on the fundamental problem of a person’s psychological development within the joint activity context. The starting point for the author are L.S. Vygotsky’s and D.B. Elkonin’s positions on the source and conditions of development, its psychological mechanism determining the internal dynamic of development. The article presents a systemic view of development as an objective process thus providing the opportunity to specify D.B. Elkonin’s position represented in his conception of child’s development stages periodization. The “dual” character of a subject’s mode of activity is outlined. It means that in the course of joint activity it always finds its realization within the subject’s system of relations by way of the subject’s modes of actions thus providing the possibility to avoid the disruption between motivational (personal) and operational technical (object-oriented) domains of activity still characteristic for the present-day psychology views. The psychological mechanism of a subject activity development is considered as resolution of contradictions that emerge in the course of his involvement into the new forms of joint activity, which demands the respective changes of the modes of actions previously formed which in its turn causes the transformation of the subject’s relations system. It is claimed that in the course of joint activity the concrete modes of the subject’s actions at every stage of his development cease to correspond to the system of his relations being formed thus leading to the transformation of the activity motivational base that determine these modes development
