A brief report of my visit to the psychological facilities in the Soviet Union.

This report describes the author's impressions of his visit to psychology departments, institutions and laboratories in Moscow and Leningrad in May 1969. During his tour, he visited facilities for the care of mentally and physically handicapped and mentally ill, and observed the teaching and research facilities in the Leningrad University and Patrice Lumumba University. The author was very much impressed with the experimental work going on in the psychological laboratories and institutions, and found a keen desire among Soviet psychologists to exchange their views and findings with the Western psychologists.
