ABSTRACT
Helena Antipoff, a Russian-born psychologist and educator who migrated to Brazil in 1929, played an important role in the establishment of the areas of developmental and educational psychology in Brazil. Drawing on her previous training in Paris, Geneva, and Petrograd, she assumed at that time the directorship of one of the first laboratories of psychology established in the country, linked to the Belo Horizonte Teachers College, in the state of Minas Gerais. In this position, she participated actively in the movement of school renewal in Brazilian public schools during the 1930s, as a teacher, as a researcher, and as an institution builder.
