The article summarizes the scientific problems that became the subject of the seminar-discussion «Soviet existence on the eve of the formation of a totalitarian and authoritarian framework» (May 2020), conducted by members of the research team of the Russian science Foundation grant № 20-68-46013. The team of authors consisting of leading scientists (doctors of sciences and young researchers (PhD and graduate students) presented the results of a research grant, applying to the disclosure of the origins of the concept «soviet existence», to understanding the content of an integrative phenomenon of soviet being and its representation in artistic practice. On the basis of the conducted collective research, the primary concepts of Russian culture of the XIX and XX centuries are analyzed, which allowed us to find a certain continuity of semantic complexes, spiritual, historical and political prerequisites and realities, artistic creativity and everyday practices of the pre-soviet and soviet periods of russian culture. The soviet being is designated as a living and paradoxical space, which is reflected in the works of representatives of soviet culture, religious and pseudo-religious practices, metamorphoses and transformations of the daily (everyday) existence of the individual. Special attention is paid to the representation of soviet existence in artistic creativity, the evolution and transformation of ideas about the existence of the individual in works of different types of art. There are designated the main trends of perception of the real and ideal world, the circle of characters (images) and their symbolic interpretation, basic plots and themes. The article presents the content of the research conducted under the grant, also it outlines theoretical and methodological approaches to further understanding the phenomenon of «soviet existence» in philosophical, historical, cultural and artistic discourses.
