Abstract

The article makes an attempt to comprehend appearance of the phenomenon of Soviet man in the historical arena, the specifics of its functioning at various stages of the formation and development of Soviet society. It is shown that the consciousness and activity of the Soviet person developed gradually, within the framework of overcoming objective and subjective contradictory circumstances. Particular attention is paid to the Soviet person as a decisive link in the emergence and existence of a social contract as the basis of Soviet society. A brief critical analysis of anti-Soviet concepts is being implemented. A search is being made for an answer to the question why the phenomenon of the Soviet man continues to live in the minds and hearts of Russians three decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
