The book's perspective on the "Soviet man" allows us to discern, beyond this seemingly empty ideological formula, a multitude of concrete discursive practices and biographical strategies through which Soviet people attempted to imbue their lives with meaning consistent with the historical imperatives of the Stalin era. The immediate subject of this study is the diary genre, which enabled the transformation of ideological criteria of time into a factor in the psychological construction of one's identity. The book's protagonists—peasants who fled to the city and members of the urban intelligentsia who worked as rural teachers, engineers, and writers—used the diary as a means of self-observation and self-education, transforming existing cultural patterns into a horizon of inner development, making history part of their self.
