Abstract
The article is devoted to the semiotics of the pocket, an important element of the Soviet vestimentary matrix. The contents of pockets perfectly characterize the inner world of a person. The pockets of exemplary Soviet people are predictably filled with items that are poorly adapted for pocket wear, but confirm their correct ideology. In the pockets of a “little man” of the Stalin era, there is either emptiness, or, as for example, in the hero of Zoshchenko’s story “The Aristocratic woman”, “all sorts of junk”. People almost always hide something in their pockets, so in Soviet society, where the authorities tried to achieve complete control over all spheres of life, this clothing accessory constantly aroused increased interest and serious concern.
