Summary/Abstract: Santrauka. Straipsnio tikslas yra aptarti kairiojo sąmoningumo raidą Tarybų Sąjungoje, sovietinėje ir posovietinėje Lietuvoje. Straipsnyje pateikiama kairiojo ir dešiniojo politinio spektro analizė, funkcinio bei biurokratinio požiūrio kritika. Analizuojami V. Lenino samprotavimai apie radikaliojo kairumo ydas, aiškinamos G. Lukacso klasinės sąmonės ir sąmoningumo sudaiktinimo teorijos, nagrinėjamos klasinės sąmonės transformacijos, ypač spektaklio visuomenės laikotarpiu, aptariama kairumo sąsaja su socialinės inžinerijos projektais. Taip pat remiantis V.
