Summary/Abstract: The article examines socialist realism through the prisms of dual practice and double consciousness. The paper discusses the shift in normative moral convictions and resistance, at the epicentre of which were the games of dual practice - the conflicts between the interests and needs of public and private life. The paper explores the idea of the referential structure of action, which is based on the following logical structure: The goal of the agent, confronted with external conditions, defines action as a tension between a normative and a conditioning factor, which it attempts to overcome by various means. This article discusses socialist realism as a principle of Soviet moralisation, which was used as a tool for implementing the value system of the new Soviet man.
