Product: Vospitanie Voli Shkolnika (The Education of the Student’s Will) by Vladimir Ivanovich Selivanov (1954)
This is a rare and historically significant Soviet-era pedagogical work, originally published in 1954. The book addresses the systematic cultivation of willpower and determination in schoolchildren—a key objective in the Stalinist educational system. Selivanov, a prominent Soviet psychologist and educator, offers concrete methodological guidance for teachers and parents on how to develop volitional character traits in students, such as perseverance, self-discipline, and goal-oriented behavior.
The text reflects the ideological and practical concerns of its time: while the state prioritized willpower as a cornerstone of the "new Soviet man," teachers often lacked practical resources. This book was intended to fill that gap, providing a structured approach grounded in classical Soviet pedagogy of the 1950s. Today, it serves as a valuable historical document and a unique perspective on child psychology and education during the early Cold War era.
For collectors of Soviet educational literature, historians of pedagogy, or those interested in the philosophical underpinnings of willpower training, this edition—complete with its original 1954 publication details—is a notable find. Price: 742.00 RUR.
