The view of the "Soviet man" presented in this book allows us to see behind this seemingly empty ideological formula a multitude of concrete discursive practices and biographical strategies through which Soviet people tried to give their lives a meaning that corresponded to the historical imperatives of the Stalinist era. The immediate subject of the study is the genre of the diary, which made it possible to turn the ideological criteria of the time into a factor in the psychological construction of one's own identity. The book's heroes - peasants who fled to the city and urban intellectuals who worked as village teachers, engineers and writers - used the diary as a means of self-observation and self-education, turning existing cultural patterns into a horizon of inner formation, making history a part of their own selves.
