Preface

The first issue of “Vestnik of Saint Petersburg University. Psychology” is traditionally dedicated to the topic of the conference of the Faculty of Psychology of St. Petersburg State University “Ananyev Readings”, held in October 2024. This year’s conference was dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Department of General Psychology. It was from this department that the formation of the Faculty of Psychology began, its first head was Boris Gerasimovich Ananyev, the founder of the Faculty of Psychology of our university. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the history of the Department of General Psychology is the history of the entire faculty. We congratulate our colleagues on the glorious anniversary and wish further success to the Department of General Psychology!
