Abstract
In the history of the USSR, the 1950s are a period rarely comprehended by historians as a whole. Instead, they are interpreted as a time of transition from the high Stalinism culture to the thaw era. Meanwhile, at this time, the economic and military-technical basis of the Soviet legacy was laid, which became the basis of the Russian economy. The sociocultural factor that determined the specifics of the time is what Margaret Mead defined as a prefigurative culture — a state of society in which adults learn from their children, who are endowed with new rights. It found its expression in the fiction and art of the 1950s.
