Abstract
In this journal issue we present four views of one of the most eminent figures in the history of Soviet psychology, Aleksei Nikolaevich Leont'ev. Two of the papers are by lifelong professional colleagues and friends, P. Ya. Gal'perin and D. B. El'konin; a third is by his student and son A. A. Leont'ev; and the fourth is by a longtime conversation partner who had no particular professional expertise in Leont'ev's discipline, V. F. Tendryakov.
