Hi Diannaa,

You deleted the text which is taken from https://psyhistorik.livejournal.com/16254.html, but this is the page that re-uses 100% of text written by me and published as an article in Gestalt Theory, 2007, vol. 29, no. 3, pp. 256-268. (https://www.gestalttheory.net/uploads/pdf/GTH-Archive/2007Zeigarnik_Memoir.pdf) I never signed the copyright transfer agreement for Gestalt Theory, so I can also reuse my own text. Also, Gestalt Theory gives free access to my article and decided to publish OA from some moment. Overall, I don't see any copyright violations from my side. Could you return it? I am thinking how to update it anyway.

Thank you

Andrey Zeigarnik
