popup.description1
Study of the evolution of the construct "Soviet-Soviet-Soviet person", the ways and tools of its transformation into a comprehensive metanarrative, which fundamentally reformatted verbal and visual symbols, meanings, myths, principles of actualization and legitimization of political processes in the USSR. The deconstruction of the informational, semantic and terminological narrative qualitatively different from the rest of the world, which united the community and the state apparatus within the framework of the communist modernization project until the collapse of the USSR, and in the conditions of Russia's war against Ukraine under the slogans of the reproduction of the USSR, acquires existential importance. Study of the problem on the basis of individual professional/national/religious strata of society (working class, peasantry, national minorities, creative and scientific intelligentsia, teachers, clergy, party nomenclature, etc.) in the context of interaction between the union and republican center. Carrying out the theoretical deconstruction of the Soviet metanarrative as the only reliable basis for the dismantling of Soviet social and ideological practices, which in the context of Russia's war against Ukraine turn into a direct threat to state security.

Modern socio-political processes in the post-Soviet space actualize the problem of critical understanding of the Soviet heritage, mechanisms for reproducing totalitarian practices and models of thinking. In the context of the implementation of the RP, the process of modeling and approving the phenomenon of the “Soviet” person as a normative-discursive anthropological construct was reconceptualized. It is substantiated that it took place within the framework of the implementation of socio-cultural engineering practices aimed at transforming mass consciousness, identity matrices and the symbolic space of society. The Bolshevik project is interpreted as a “semantic revolution. The key mechanisms for constructing the “Soviet person” are systematically analyzed: ideological indoctrination as a tool for forming normative models of thinking; repressive and disciplinary practices as a means of ensuring the internalization of social norms; cultural policy as a mechanism for symbolic production and coding of social reality. It is proven that the process of Sovietization in Ukraine has acquired a conflict-prone, nonlinear and heterogeneous character, caused by the competition between the Bolshevik and national projects of modernity. The understanding of the role of repressive institutions as a socio-constructive factor has been deepened. It is generalized that in 1917–1923 the basic anthropological and identity parameters of the Soviet/Soviet socio-political project were laid, which determined the further evolution of Soviet society and the nature of its long-term socio-cultural consequences.
