Recreating Mankind 3

Abstract:
My research is fundamentally an exploration into the dynamics of what has been conceptualized
as "The New Soviet Man." My intention is to examine not only the Soviet regime's actual
implementation of this idea into society, but also to investigate other factors surrounding this
idea such as the philosophical foundations of the New Man, the response of the New Man in the
public and private sectors of the Soviet Union, and whether or not the Soviet Government's idea
of creating a New Soviet Man could be interpreted as a success or failure on the level of real-
world application and the theoretical level. The sources from which my research and conclusions
are drawn stem from numerous disciplines that range from historical interpretations to
philosophical treatises and even to Soviet literature that focuses on the New Man concept. I hope
my research clearly conveys the amalgamation of all these different sources and factors
surrounding the idea of the New Soviet Man into a refined analysis that reveals a larger idea
behind this social experiment of essentially re-creating humanity.
