Political psychologist A.I. Yuriev: "Man lives for others"
Некоторые из наших форумчан и читателей могли слышать это имя. В какой-то момент в 2012 году у него даже брали интервью на телеканале "Россия 1".
Мне было грустно узнать, что профессор Александр Иванович Юрьев скончался в ноябре прошлого года. Он был основателем и многолетним руководителем кафедры политической психологии Санкт-Петербургского государственного университета. Его волновали вопросы этики и проблемы, с которыми столкнулись многие люди, столкнувшись с новой эрой глобализма. Ему было нелегко, он консультировал ведущих политиков и едва пережил покушение на свою жизнь в 1996 году, когда согласился работать на предвыборную кампанию Собчака. Он также решил уйти с должности в университете из-за серьезных разногласий с другими учеными. Птицы щебетали, что к концу жизни он познакомился с Политической Понерологией, которая была необходима ему для работы. К сожалению, ему не было предоставлено достаточно времени, чтобы осуществить задуманное.
В качестве скромной памяти о его жизни и работе я хотела бы поделиться несколькими ссылками, надеясь, что вы сможете найти вдохновение, столь необходимое в наше время.

Some of our forumites and readers might have heard that name. At some point in 2012 he even was interviewed on Russia 1 TV channel.
I'm saddened to have learned that Prof. Alexander Ivanovich Yurjev passed away last November. He was the founder and long term head of the Political Psychology department at St. Petersburg State University. He was concerned with ethics and with problems many people experienced while faced with a new era of globalism. He didn't have it easy, he was advising top politicians and barely survived an attack on his life back in 1996 when he agreed to work for Sobchak's campaign. He also decided to resign from his University position due to a serious disagreement with other academics. The birds were twitting that towards the end of his life he became familiar with Political Ponerology that he needed for his work. Unfortunately, he wasn't given enough time in this realm to accomplish whatever he'd planned.
As a humble commemoration of his life and work, I'd want to share a few links, hoping you could find some inspiration, so much needed in these times.

Несколько выдержек:
No one goes through life without a crisis. It is like a snake changing its skin in the spring snow. At a certain point in life, we exhaust all our intellectual and physical resources, and at the same time, accumulate a load of mistakes that we are unable to carry on through life. It is time to say goodbye to another period of your life. And sometimes even to life itself.
It is worrying that the world is changing radically, and so many people live as if nothing is happening. I often say that we fly through psychological space like a supersonic fighter jet, i.e. we see in front of us what is already behind us. The nerve impulse propagates along the nerve fibre slower than the fighter jet moves in the air, and changes in psychological properties do not keep up with the global changes in the world around us. We rejoice in what no longer exists, and do not see what already surrounds us. We are losing a great power because it has fallen behind the globalisation train and is claiming what does not exist and bumping into what has reappeared. In order to talk about human adequacy, one has to study the world to which one has to adapt. And we do not know it, this new changed world. Just as we do not know our own people, who have also become completely new. This is why schools do not know what to teach, in higher education they do not know what to prepare for, and teachers do not know what psychological qualities a modern, competitive person should have.
At the same time, many people become machines that, while allegedly working for people, poison and destroy these same people. This is ubiquitous: at home, at the place of study or work, on television, etc. Man is built from the phenomenal amount of mental effort of those around him, just as a skyscraper is built from bricks, metal and glass. Man is what the people who loved him put into him: a lot or a little, right or wrong, meaningful or meaningless. And it is possible to destroy a man with a single word or with the stroke of a pen, just as skyscrapers are destroyed by blowing up only one corner of a building. Such is the relationship between love and hate: years of tireless work by mothers, families, teachers, doctors, writers, and... one drop of poison in the ear...
