In his 1987 Journal of Humanistic Psychology article, Francis Macy stated that Carl Rogers’s influence in the former Soviet Union would last long after his death. This article presents evidence in support of that claim. It is a kind of retrospective feedback about Carl Rogers’s 1986 visit and workshop in Moscow from one of the participants in those events. The author’s personal experience—his feelings, cognitions, presuppositions, insights, discoveries, and his further personal and professional evolution—are described by one of the well-known figures in post-Soviet Ukranian psychology.
