metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Using previously unpublished archival documents, this article provides one of the first studies on the
  biography of prominent Leningrad political and economic figure N. I. Ivanov. During War Communism and NEP
  he served as labor commissar for the Union of Communes of the Northern Region, headed the Department of
  municipal economy of the Executive Committee of the Petrograd/Leningrad Soviet, was was the second deputy
  chairman of the Еxecutive Сommittee of the Leningrad City Soviet. In the conditions of NEP he had to make
  compromises with businessmen and specialists from “former people”. In the “year of the great turning point”, he
  was fired from all posts and sent to work as a mechanic at a factory. During industrialization he was forgiven and
  became a director of the Lenmetallurgstroy plant. In 1937 Ivanov fell victim to the “Great Terror”, and was arrested
  and died. The article provides reasons for the repression of responsible Soviet business executives: it was found
  that effective administrators of the “ideologically vicious” NEP deviated from the strictly class line by necessity and
  were punished for this during Stalin’s “revolution form above”. At the same time, the factors of the deployment of
  massive repressive campaigns against factory directors influenced the processes of the formation of the socialist
  subjectivity of the builders of the new world. The article traces how in the 1930s, when propaganda extolled labor
  collectives as true creators of a perfect civilization, Ivanov had to deviate from the imperative principle of the
  collectivist worldview, and was forced to rely on the professional core of factory specialists, sometimes opposing
  himself to the bulk of the factory workers. This is the tragedy of the economic leader of Stalin’s time.
