Marxist and non-Marxist aspects of the cultural-historical psychology of L. S. Vygotsky It was not only Marxism which influenced Vygotsky. He was a child of the Silver Age of Russian culture and philosophy and the influence of this should not be underestimated. Some traits in Vygotsky’s theory, traditionally considered as Marxist – such as the concept of the social origins of mind or sign as psychological tool have deeper and wider roots in works of Shpet, Blonsky, Sorokin and Meierhold. As for Marxism as such, it must be mentioned that during all three periods of his creative evolution Vygotsky had different approaches to what was true Marxist psychology and how it should be built. These are items this paper is focused on. 
There is a wide range of classifications of family upbringing types and the corresponding diagnostic tools in Russia as well as worldwide. But the counseling practice requires age-specific models of child-parent interactions that take into consideration a child’s own activity, his (her) emotional experience of relationships with his (her) parents. The scope of the research is the connection between actual child-parent interactions and specific of the child’s emotional experience of his (her) relations with the parents. The article also mentions several innovative diagnostical tools. 
The zone of proximal development in play and learning The concept of the ZPD is characterized in a different way in two separate contexts (school and play) in Vygotsky's cultural-historical psychology. Creative and motivational aspect of learning is emphasized in development supported by play. In play context personality development is focused on and development of psychological functions in problem solving at school. We proposed an extended concept of the ZPD, which integrates the two definitions and includes an additional distance from potentials to personality changes. In play development from the crisis of the third year to the next crisis at seven we suggest three different types of the ZPD depending on the play initiatives.
