metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The subject of this article is the study of the phenomenon homo soveticus in the West (C. Friedrich,
  Z. Brzezinski, S. Fitzpatrick, S. Kotkin, A. Yurchak and others) and in Russia by sociologist Yuri Levada since the
  1980s; by social anthropologist Natalia Kozlova in the late 1990s, and from the early 2000s to the present by historians
  and literary scholars from Russian cities (Yekaterinburg, Voronezh, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Tiumen, Krasnodar,
  Moscow) and from Hungary and Poland, whose work is published in an interdisciplinary collective monograph
  by Ural Federal University (Ekaterinburg) in 2021. The authors of the monograph belong to different generations
  and national humanities’ schools, but they are united by a common historical memory, by an approach to homo
  soveticus as a multiform, not monolithic phenomenon. The personality typology of the 1930s is not identical to
  that of the 1960s, 1970s, or 1980s, and Soviet rule, despite all its might, could not completely control and subjugate
  people of the USSR — not only because the country was very large and diverse, but mainly because the ideology and politics of this rule contradicted life. The monograph opens new perspectives on an original, holistic
  approach to the study of the homo soveticus phenomenon, which includes its versions in the countries of Eastern
  Europe, as well as its perception by Russian emigrants.
