Spanish Journal of Psychology опубликовал заметки Скиннера о его визите в СССР в 1961, the
travel notes dictated by B.F.Skinner in his 1961 trip to the USSR. Not intended for publication, "Russia 1961" is now published for the first time by authorization of the B.F. Skinner Foundation. Читаю вот. Тут и впечатления от Москвы, тут и Лурия, тут и Леонтьев. (а вот тут ссылка на текст http://www.ucm.es/info/Psi/docs/journal/v9_n1_2006/art115.pdf)

Luria had rejoined us and asked whether I could have a few minutes to talk with him about professional matters. I
suggested that he come back to our hotel for a drink. Instead,he called his wife and made arrangements for us to go to
his home. We spent an extra half hour looking at pictures,during which time his wife was presumably preparing for
us. Then we walked with him to the vicinity of his home,where we were met by his very charming daughter, a
biologist, 22 years old. Luria is presumably a well-paidscientist. He has a country place and drives his own car. He was living, however, in a miserable tenement-style building,which he said he preferred because it was convenient to a large library, and to his laboratory. He pointed out that he was lucky because he had three rooms. We discovered,
however, that his daughter and her husband were living with him, as apparently was an older woman who might have
been the mother of Luria or Mrs. Luria. The living room was clean and nicely decorated, full of furniture, including
several cabinets with excellent objets d’art and his daughter’s desk, which contained not only a microscope but a great
many puppets. He asked whether we were interested in Oriental art and brought out some very fine old Chinese
scrolls and some recent Chinese paper work. He made us a present of a beautiful volume showing reproductions of
very unusual religious frescos and icons by Rublov, the great Russian painter of the fifteenth century. His daughter wished us to have also a book by a modern Soviet artist, Nesteroff.12 This is mediocre according to our standards but contains an excellent portrait of Pavlov in colour which I value.
