Abstract: Responding to the reproaches addressed by Michel de Certeau a quarter of a century ago to historians, who use time as a taxonomic tool without reflecting on its social structure, we seek to make time visible through the analytical tools developed currently by sociologists and anthropologists of time. Setting the analytical optics, we are turning in a performative way towards temporality in the history of the Soviet 20th century, transferring the temporal turn from the declaration into presence. Continuing to experiment with looking at the Soviet reality through a temporality lens, we are gathering the subjects of our two-year research in the text. The number of co-authors, unusual for the humanities; the composition of paper; and the wide range of topics express and embody the letter and spirit of our project, where the Soviet social time is jointly studied from different perspectives. Compositionally, the article consists of six analytical short stories. In each of them, the results of one of our research cases, united under the umbrella of the Soviet temporality project, are interpreted with one of the core concepts or approaches introduced by the temporal turn.
