In 2025, the professional community of Russian psychologists will once again celebrate their professional holiday—Psychologist's Day, observed on November 22. The date was not chosen by chance: it was on this day in 1994 that the inaugural constituent congress of the Russian Psychological Society took place, laying the foundation for the modern professional association of psychologists in the country. For many years, the holiday existed as a "professional tradition" and was unofficially celebrated starting in 2000. Since 2023, it has been included in the official calendar of professional dates, underscoring the recognition of the significance of psychological science and practice at the state level.
MSUPE invites you to a psychological online marathon, which will begin on November 21 at 11:00 AM on the platform of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation. Leading MSUPE specialists in the fields of psychology and education will gather here.

Over 25,000 viewers have watched the broadcasts over the past three years.
On November 22, 2025, Moscow expects a rich program uniting specialists from various fields—from academic psychology to clinical and counseling practice. Throughout the day, practical and lecture sessions will be held, combining a focus on professional development and the personal resources of specialists.
From November 15 to 22, the Russian New University (RosNOU) will hold a Week of Psychological Health, featuring thematic events, educational meetings, and open discussions aimed at both specialists and the general public. Press conferences and round tables with leading psychologists and psychiatrists will be held at various venues, discussing current issues in mental health, prevention, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Psychologist's Day in 2025 is transforming into an entire professional "week of meanings," uniting the academic agenda, practice, and public education.
An integral part of the celebration remains the All-Russian Psychological Dictation, traditionally held on November 22. In 2025, it will again be part of the general Psychologist's Day program. The dictation serves several purposes: it increases interest in psychology, promotes the dissemination of evidence-based knowledge, and maintains public attention on mental health issues. The theme of the 2025 dictation is connected to important social and historical aspects, making this event significant not only educationally but also in terms of values and humanities. For the professional community, it is another opportunity to speak to society in the language of science while remaining in a space of live dialogue and trust.
