Résumé anglais Alexandre Etkind, Rise and fall of the "paedological " movement. From psychoanalysis to the "new Soviet man." The article relates the history of paedology (pedologiia) in USSR in the 1920's and 1930's. Elaborated by Stanley Hall, paedology was introduced in USSR at the beginning of the NEP and enjoyed extraordinary success since it was officially implanted in schools. Its objective being the interdisciplinary, total ("complex") knowledge of the child, it came up to the expectations of the regime and of part of the scientific world: it was to result in practical applications tallying with the scheduled "new man." It was, furthermore, a last shelter for the innovative trends in psychology and pedagogy, in particular after the near prohibition of psychoanalysis. It was blacklisted as "bourgeois pseudo-science" in 1936 by a decree of the Central Committee which put an end to the research in this field.
