- Abstract
- The article, based on the use of statistical methods, identifies characteristic features of the iconic socialgroups of the post-revolutionary Soviet era – “old Bolsheviks” and makes conclusions about the factors influencing theformation and evolution of a new elite. There are impact of heterogeneous working society; its sacralization in thepropaganda and Marxist theory, remoteness of yesterday’s underground fighters from the realities of working life. Vectorlocating the “old Bolsheviks” on the steps of the management ladder are specified. It is characteristic that every thirdofficial had party standing prior to February, 1917. Composition of the Ural regional Committee of the RCP (b) electedin December 1923, to a half (52%) belonged to the “old guard” turning “old Bolsheviks” in a social group detached fromworking society. If we talk about the Ural region, the formation of such a “border line” should be attributed to 1927 –suppression of the strike in May 1927 at a major metallurgical factory with longstanding revolutionary traditions on theoutskirts of Yekaterinburg (Verkh-Isetsky).
