Her maternal grandfather, V.G. Margaritov, was from a priestly Cossack Don family. He was educated in Grenoble (France), where he and his future chosen one A.D. Grigorieva studied at the university. Later they taught French in Russia: V.G. Margaritov, teaching in Volsk and Irkutsk cadet corps, rose to the rank of collegiate counselor.

According to her recollections, her interest in natural history Novoselova was obliged to another grandfather: Fedor Ivanovich Bocharov, who graduated from the Department of Natural Sciences of Kharkov University in 1908, where he studied paleontology and geography under the guidance of Professor A. N. Krasnov.

In 1947, the family moved to Moscow, to house number 13 on Tchaikovsky Street (Novinsky Boulevard).

In the ninth grade, in the Moscow school where Novosyolova studied, a new subject appeared - psychology, which a graduate student from Elena Mikhailovna Kudryavtseva began to teach. She recommended Nadezhda Nikolaevna Lodygina-Kots, an inquisitive student, who led a circle of schoolchildren, students and adults in the Darwin Museum who were interested in animal behavior and the origin of the psyche. So, while still a schoolgirl, S. L. Novoselova began her research on the intelligence of monkeys.

An excerpt characterizing Novoselova, Svetlana Leonidovna

E.V. Trifonova

Svetlena Leonidovna Novoselova:
Scientist. Teacher. Man.

Svetlana Leonidovna Novoselova herself wrote wonderful memoirs about herself. When you read them, a person of indomitable energy, wide interests, sparkling humor and subtle self-irony rises before your eyes ... However, when describing himself, a person is always a little cunning. Svetlana Leonidovna also could not avoid this. But her cunning is not from cunning, not from the desire to show herself in the best light, but precisely from her innate intelligence and modesty. Therefore, describing certain circumstances requiring a certain strength of mind and courage, she explained her actions by naivety, lack of understanding until the end of the situation, etc. These memories are another little line to the portrait, which is so vivid in the memory of everyone who knew her, to the self-portrait that she herself left us about herself and, perhaps, another belated attempt to pay tribute to this bright, beautiful person.

Inexhaustible energy and a deep understanding of the foundations and prospects for the development of a preschool child allowed Svetlana Leonidovna in 1988 to organize a game laboratory at the Research Institute of Preschool Education of the USSR Academy of Pedagogical Sciences. In September of the same year, having failed at the exams at Moscow State University, I ended up in this laboratory as a laboratory assistant. And the first thing I faced when starting work in the laboratory was a huge project of interdisciplinary research related to the problems of introducing computers into preschool education. At that time, even adults (except for professional programmers) did not yet own computers, and Svetlana Leonidovna was going to teach this to children, seeing and understanding the prospects of this project. Psychologists, teachers, physiologists, physicians, designers took part in the project ... And what scale does one need to have in order to lead this motley team, to link the results of research incomparable in form and methods, to draw fundamental conclusions on their basis ... different options for organizing the developing subject-spatial environment. And these are business trips, descriptions, analysis, development of basic provisions…. AND the main problem - game: approbation and clarification in the research of graduate students of the complex method, the study of folk games, games-experiments, honing a new classification and a new look at the psychological essence different types games ...

However, then I could hardly appreciate the scale of the work. I was tying plans and reports, articles and abstracts on a typewriter and had little interest in what was happening. She perceived Svetlana Leonidovna as a very energetic person, but as a scientist ... Then - no. V.S. Mukhina has a wonderful description-observation of how she showed her still young sons a book with pictures of prehistoric animals. She was sure that the dinosaurs would make an indelible impression on the boys. However, the kids looked at the outlandish animals "with the indifferent eyes of the ignorant." I looked at what was happening with approximately the same look for several years, until I began to study and reached the middle of the course.

Probably, the first strong impression when I gradually began to understand the scale of Svetlana Leonidovna's personality precisely as a scientist was the lectures of a special course on playing at Moscow State University. The concepts she expounded were so beautiful, slender, logical ... And so they diverged from the classical Elkonin's approach, which was presented to us in other lectures! True, the knowledge gained at her lectures was then for me just an excellent trick to flaunt "something like that" at a seminar on developmental psychology... The understanding of many things came later, much later.

In those years, Svetlana Leonidovna repeatedly emphasized in conversations and discussions that she relies on an activity approach in her research, talked about A.N. Leontiev as one of his teachers. Today it is clear what was the reason for such persistence in defining one's own position. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, talking about the activity approach in psychology was not just "not fashionable", but even almost as indecent as talking about Marxism, communism, party congresses, etc. The activity approach was based on Marxism and was official methodology of Soviet psychology. The saddest thing is that this methodology was taught as boringly and schematically as the three foundations and three components of Marxism-Leninism, and therefore, in the heat of social transformations of society, it was happily rejected by the students in favor of much more interesting, from their point of view, approaches. Unfortunately, the result of such omnipresence was elementary eclecticism, which does not give an understanding of the mechanisms, prospects and determinants, in which semantic connections are replaced by mechanical associations ... It was still not very clear to me then. The question of methodology simply did not bother me.

But Svetlana Leonidovna's position was clear and unambiguous. And this could not but affect those who worked with her. Methodology, unlike theory or methodology, cannot be learned. Methodology is actually a worldview. That's life. And she knew how to breathe this life into her students. How it was? Outwardly very simple. If you look from the outside, then, perhaps, somewhere even ridiculous. For example, like this. While working on the posed problem, I discovered a bunch of other problems of a private nature, which I did not know what to do with. Unable to find the answer myself, I hoped that now I would ask these questions scientific advisor (which Svetlana Leonidovna was), I will receive clear and comprehensive answers to them, and I will continue to work. But the reality turned out to be different. I came to Svetlana Leonidovna and dumped my bag of questions mixed with explanations and justifications for failed attempts to solve the problem. Svetlana Leonidovna listened attentively, and then began to speak. She usually started very emotionally and something like this: “Katya! What a fine fellow you are! How you all accurately and correctly noticed! .. "and then began to say things that, from my point of view, were absolutely correct, completely understandable and even well-known, there was nothing to object to them, but ... They did not give me answers to MY questions ... I left the consultation completely confused and even disappointed. But it was here that the work began. With her, as it seemed to me then, obvious explanations, she not only directed, but one might even say “tamped” into the mainstream of the activity approach, into its system of concepts, system of coordinates, system of view of phenomena and their causes ... I still did not find an answer to TE their questions posed. It was just that at some point I began to look at the problem in a completely different way, and then the sought-for answers simply became unnecessary, because the problem itself and the options for solving it appeared in a completely different light and from a different perspective.

Robert Sheckley has a wonderful story "The Right Question". We are talking there about a machine called the Defendant, which could answer any question (any correctly asked question about the nature of things). But no matter how many questions he was asked, his answers were always: “The question has no meaning”, “This question cannot be resolved in its present form”, “The questioner operates with a false concept of the Universe”, etc. As a result, all questions remained unanswered. Today it reminds me very much of my consultations with Svetlana Leonidovna. True, unlike the Defendant, she tried her best to explain to me how to ask questions correctly. And after these conversations, the necessary changes began slowly but surely in my head, and then the ways to solve the problem became, if not obvious, then at least tangible. You just started thinking in completely different categories. And now I say with confidence about myself that I work within the framework of the activity approach, I solve problems based on the main theoretical provisions of this approach, this is my methodology and my view of the world. And my teacher here is not even so much the Faculty of Psychology of Moscow State University, the citadel of the activity approach, as a Personality, Teacher - Svetlana Leonidovna Novosyolova.

It has already been said above that in the autobiography of Svetlana Leonidovna, her personal qualities are clearly visible: indomitable cheerfulness, cheerfulness, openness to new things, aspiration and self-confidence in spite of everything. She retained these qualities throughout her life. I will try to supplement her psychological portrait a little.

It was in the highest degree creative person... I do not know if she was tested according to the method of the creative field of D. B. Bogoyavlenskaya, but I would venture to suggest that her results would show a creative level of intellectual activity. She saw new and most interesting problems where everything was clear to the rest, or vice versa, everyone saw an absolutely insoluble problem. She undertook to solve such problems. She poured out ideas easily and playfully, completely not caring about "copyright". Nowadays, modern educational practice widely uses such terms as "developing subject-spatial and subject-game environment", "computer-game complex", "amateur games", "a comprehensive method of pedagogical support of amateur games", etc., without even suspecting that it was Svetlana Leonidovna Novosyolova who introduced them into the everyday life of domestic preschool education. And the time of their appearance refers to the late 70s - mid 80s. Just in the 90s, gradually from laboratory reports, memos, projects research works and so on, they passed into the documents of the Department of Education of the city of Moscow, and then into widespread practice.

However, as a kind person never thinks of himself as “good”, an honest person does not think of himself as “honest” (otherwise this is not a person, but a disguise), Svetlana Leonidovna sincerely doubted her talent, worried about the content of her lectures and speeches, incredibly worried about the fact of the doctoral defense, although for all those present at the defense, this procedure was of a purely formal nature: everyone already understood that S.L. Novoselova, of course, was a doctor of sciences in law. The head of the Department of Developmental Psychology of the Faculty of Psychology of Moscow State University, A.I. Podolsky, said that this defense finally puts everything in its place, and it is simply uncomfortable for him to be a doctor, while Svetlana Leonidovna is a candidate of sciences.

Despite some external burden, Svetlana Leonidovna has always been a very mobile person. She went to distant Cuba with lectures in the 70s, she constantly traveled on endless business trips, from where she returned with new projects, with new people - representatives of different kindergartens who became practically laboratory employees ... And in 1997 she was bedridden ... Heavy operation. Svetlana Leonidovna is already over 60 ... The restoration was at first quite difficult, especially - age ... Then there was a real feeling of serious danger ... However, Svetlana Leonidovna won with her usual vitality, having risen like a Phoenix from the ashes. And then work continued on the program "Origins", two fundamental scientific monographs "Development of the intellectual basis of the activity of primates" (Series "Psychologists of the Fatherland", 2001) and "Genetically early forms of thinking" (2002) were written, the doctoral defense passed brilliantly ... , in the book “Problems of Psychological Research. Index of 1050 doctoral dissertations 1935-2007 " it is noted that at the most mature age doctoral dissertations defended among men A.S. Arseniev (78 years old), and among women S.L. Novoselova (72 years old). Some inaccuracy with the calculation of age, but still honorable: few women dare to do this at retirement age. In any case, as the authors of this book quite rightly note, “the main thing for the defense of a dissertation is not the age of the applicant, but the quality of the work”.

And then again: work, work ... 2004. Organization of a three-day (!) Round table "Pedagogical conditions for the development of a child's activity system" (in fact, a conference organized by Svetlana Leonidovna). Again, a huge emotional stress in preparation. And after a while - terrible news: a stroke ...

With all the understanding of the severity of the situation, for some reason there was no feeling of hopelessness at first. Stroke was perceived as a disease ... Of course, very serious, but temporary. After all, Svetlana Leonidovna is our "Phoenix", she will definitely rise! The laboratory did not appoint a new head, his functions were performed by "I.O."

And there was hope ... And the recovery was already slowly gaining strength ... However, the second stroke crossed out all expectations.

The Scientist has gone ... The Talent has gone ... The Companion has gone ... The Teacher has gone ...

But memories cannot be ended on such a minor note. It would be wrong in relation to Svetlana Leonidovna, who will forever remain the embodiment of joy, purposefulness, scientific research, activity, sincerity, life-affirming strength ... And also - of great human greatness. From the very first years of my acquaintance with Svetlana Leonidovna, I always caught myself thinking that they were somewhat similar to Anna Akhmatova in the last years of my life. Now I know exactly what. The greatness of the spirit.

An excerpt characterizing Novoselova, Svetlana Leonidovna

Tears glistened in my eyes ... And I was not at all ashamed of it. I would give a lot to meet one of them alive! .. Especially Magdalena. What wondrous, ancient Magic burned in the soul of this amazing woman when she created her magical kingdom ?! The kingdom in which Knowledge and Understanding ruled, and the backbone of which was Love. Only not the love that the "holy" church shouted about, having worn out this wondrous word to the point that I did not want to hear it any longer, but that beautiful and pure, real and courageous, the only and amazing LOVE with whose name the powers were born ... and with whose name the ancient warriors rushed into battle ... with whose name was born new life... by whose name our world changed and became better ... This Love was carried by the Golden Mary. And it is to this Mary that I would like to bow ... For everything that she carried, for her pure bright LIFE, for her courage and courage, and for Love.
But, unfortunately, it was impossible to do this ... She lived centuries ago. And I couldn't be the one who knew her. An incredibly deep, light sadness suddenly swept over my head, and bitter tears poured down ...
- Well, what are you, my friend! .. Other sorrows await you! - Sever exclaimed in surprise. - Please, calm down ...
He gently touched my hand and gradually the sadness disappeared. Only bitterness remained, as if I had lost something light and dear ...
- You can't relax ... War awaits you, Isidora.
- Tell, Sever, the teaching of the Cathars was called the Teaching of Love because of the Magdalene?
- Here you are not quite right, Isidora. The uninitiated called him the Teaching of Love. For those who understood, it carried a completely different meaning. Listen to the sound of the words, Isidora: love in French sounds - amor - isn't it? And now strip this word, separating the letter "a" from it ... It will turn out a'mor (a "mort) - without death ... This is the true meaning of the Magdalene's teachings - the Teaching of the Immortals. As I told you before - everything simply, Isidora, if only to look and listen correctly ... Well, but for those who do not hear - let it remain the Teaching of Love ... it is beautiful too, and there is still a bit of truth in this.
I stood completely dumbfounded. The Teaching of the Immortals! .. Daariya ... So, what was the teaching of Radomir and Magdalene! .. The North surprised me many times, but never before I felt so shocked! .. The Teaching of the Cathars attracted me with its powerful, magical power, and I could not forgive myself for not talking about this with Sever before.
- Tell me, Sever, is there anything left of the Qatar records? Something must have survived? Even if not the Perfect ones themselves, then at least just disciples? I mean something about them real life and teaching?
- Unfortunately - no, Isidora. The Inquisition destroyed everything, everywhere. Her vassals, by order of the Pope, were even sent to other countries to destroy every manuscript, every remaining piece of birch bark that they could find ... We were looking for at least something, but we could not save anything.
- Well, and the people themselves? Couldn't there be something left for people who would keep it through the centuries?
- I don’t know, Isidora ... I think, even if someone had a record, it was changed over time. After all, it is natural for a person to redraw everything in his own way ... And especially without understanding. So it is unlikely that anything has survived as it was. It's a pity ... True, we have preserved the diaries of Radomir and Magdalene, but that was before the creation of Qatar. Although, I think, the teaching has not changed.
- Sorry, for my confused thoughts and questions, Sever. I see that I have lost a lot without coming to you. But still, I'm still alive. And while I'm breathing, I can still ask you, can't I? Will you tell me how Svetodar's life ended? Sorry to interrupt.
Sever smiled sincerely. He liked my impatience and my thirst to "have time" to find out. And he continued with pleasure.
After his return, Svetodar lived and taught in Occitania for only two years, Isidora. But these years became the most expensive and happiest years of his wandering life. His days, illuminated by the cheerful laughter of Beloyar, passed in his beloved Montsegur, surrounded by the Perfect ones, to whom Svetodar honestly and sincerely tried to convey what the distant Wanderer had taught him for many years.
They gathered in the Temple of the Sun, which increased tenfold by itself Living Force... And also protected them from unwanted "guests" when someone was going to secretly enter there, not wanting to appear openly.
The Temple of the Sun was called a tower specially built in Montsegur, which at certain times of the day let direct sunlight through the window, which made the Temple truly magical at that moment. And this tower also concentrated and strengthened energy, which for those working there at that moment eased the tension and did not require too much effort.
