Abstract
In the present article, we try to trace the genesis and the evolution of two correlated and closely connected concepts : New man and Soviet man. Our approach is to analyze the discursive contexts in which these two concepts circulate, to determine the relations between them as well as their links to other neighbouring concepts, and to identify their characteristic elements. Born at the crossroads of diverse discursive practices, the two concepts in question can be considered as a double concept which contains two representations, closely related to a single phenomenon. The multiple nuances of meaning of this single phenomenon place it at the reference level between reality on the one hand and modern mythology on the other. Being a hybrid product of the Utopian dreams of several generations, it designates a new species, unique in its kind, namely homo sovieticus, an extraordinary phenomenon in the world history.
