metadata.value: This article explores the origins and foundations of the Leningrad (St Petersburg) school of the
  psychology of aging. The historical perspective of the development of the ideas of the psychology
  of aging from the global trends that existed at the beginning of the 20th century is presented,
  the general prerequisites for the emergence of the Leningrad (St Petersburg) approach
  to understanding the aging process in general, as well as the basic principles of the Leningrad
  (St Petersburg) school of the psychology of aging that have arisen on their basis are shown.
  The world psychology of aging began with the deficit paradigm of aging, which accepts involutionary
  processes as the norm of ontogenesis. At the same time, developmental psychology
  did not perceive the aging period as a period of human development. B. G. Ananyev, having
  analyzed and systematized the existing data and views on human ontogenesis, put forward the
  idea of the integrity of human development and the continuity of processes. Based on these
  ideas, M. D. Alexandrova first empirically confirmed these ideas using the example of sensory-
  perceptual functions, and then expanded the area of her scientific interests to the human
  ability to work. These studies led her to the conviction that the aging period is a period with
  its own resources and potentials, the activation of which will depend not only on the current
  situation, but also on the previous period of development. She also demonstrated the ambiguity
  and variability of developmental periods. The work shows that the proposed ideas were not
  only advanced for their time, but in many ways were ahead of their time. It was shown that
  the main idea of the Leningrad (St Petersburg) school of psychology of aging can be characterized
  as a constructive — positive approach to understanding aging processes, focused
  on human potentials and resources. It was shown that the ideas suggested by B. G. Ananyev and M. D. Alexandrova, continue in the works of their students and followers, who share and
  develop these ideas.
