Social Reality in the System of Textual Influence: the Breaking Point in Russian History

Abstract

The author considers texts which have significantly influenced the formation of the subject and subject relations in Russia in the early to mid-20th century. These are the texts by V. Lenin and I. Stalin which concern the proletarian revolution, capitalism and imperialism. In these texts, one can reveal non-observance of the canonical Marxist dogmas by V. Lenin and I. Stalin due to the changed historical context, according to them. The research is based on the following methodological principles: dialectics, theory of objects, regression and logical analysis of conceptual framework. The study object is the structure of phantasms emerging when the position of the object is changed in regard to the subject, which is exposed to impact or influenced by someone or something. The subject of the research is textual reality expressed through the categories of «possibility» and «real life» and through the notion of «will» which allows the author to clearly specify the primary bases of the object-subject relations in an influence situation.
