Work, aims and scopes
The Society was established to support career development of Russian psychologists and to promote psychological science in Russian Federation. Among its key aims are promoting psychology for the public good, making it accessible to all, providing support to its members, and hosting conferences and events.
In reaching its aims the Society is actively engaged in publishing, supports research in the field of psychology and works to ensure high standards of psychological education, training and practice in Russian Federation.
Founded on 24 January 1885 at Moscow Imperial University (now Lomonosov Moscow State University) as the Moscow Physics-Medical Society ((Russian: Московское физико-медицинское общество and later as Moscow Psychological Society, the organization pursued the goals of promoting psychological research and disseminating the psychological knowledge in Russian Empire. Its first honorable members were Wilhelm Wundt, Theodule Ribot, Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz, William James, Edward Bradford Titchener.
The Russian Revolution of 1917, two World Wars and political reforms of the newly established Soviet State brought the official activity of the Russian Psychological Society to a hold. It was fully resumed in 1957 under the name of The Union of Psychologists of USSR.
Its current name of the Russian Psychological Society was taken in 1994 following the independence of Russian Federation.
