The article is devoted to the reception of Nikolai Ostrovskii's sots-realist novel How the Steel Was Tempered. It confronts the official intention of social control with anti-disciplinary mechanisms of reception (Certeau). Focussing on the secularized model of Christ-like self-humiliation (Phil 2,7) as represented by the protagonist Pavka Korchagin, the author attempts to show that in the actual reception of Ostrovskii's novel the seemingly dysfunctional Christological features of the prototypical sots-realist hero allowed the Soviet readers to identify themselves more with Pavka's particular faults and defects than with the ideology of sacrifice for the sake of a collective group which remains difficult to grasp. The tension between the officially orchestrated glorification of Korchagin as a monolithic hero and the anthropology of weakness inherent in the anti-disciplinary reception repeats the Christological paradox of inferiority and glory.
