In addition to the development of the theories well-known to foreign colleagues there are other theories, which remain obscure for the West. First of all, I would name here B. G. Ananiev (Ananiev, 1961; 1968; 1977). B. G. Ananiev's theory remains obscure for the foreign scientific community. His name is not mentioned in modern foreign encyclopedias or journals. Few of his works that were translated into foreign languages, were duly understood and appreciated by the psychologists' community because of the specific notional and conceptual structure used by B. G. Ananiev. The conceptual structure of the theory, the issues discussed, do not directly correlate with the categorical structure of the modern international psychology, hence, this theory cannot be understood by Western scientists without special efforts. At the same time, B. G. Ananiev's methodology and theory seem to be fruitful within the intensively developing areas of the world's psychological science provided the categorical system he used would be adequately explained (Mironenko, 2007a; 2009). Among such areas of research and topical issues, may be named personality impact on psycho-physiological functions, life-span human development and age dynamics of psycho-physiological functions in maturity.

Thus, the AT trend seems to be a welcomed contribution to the mainstream.

Would this integration be useful for Russian science?

I dare say that AT approach can keep on developing only if it is integrated into the mainstream. There is no future for the development of the AT but in the bosom of international science. I believe Russian psychology is now lacking every type of resources and social demand to provide for isolated development of the AT trend in Russia.

Perhaps we are the last generation that has been taught to understand those texts, who masters that language, that conceptual apparatus. After us the layer thins rapidly. Are there many among Russian psychologists wishing to study AT approach today? I do not believe that best students queue to study AT even in the prime universities which have preserved the teaching staff mastering the theory and methodology of the AT approach. This trend was actual in another country with a different culture and a different mentality, in different universities.

If we do not ensure integration of the AT developments into the mainstream, the concepts that have not yet been integrated are likely to share the fate of artifacts of a dead civilization. I believe that the integration it is a matter of professional viability for scientists developing AT approach, and their duty to their teachers.
