Abstract
The article examines the phenomenon of “freethinking” in the early years of Soviet power, when most of the modern society was forced to agree that there was a change of power. Modernists should adopt the “dictatorship of the proletariat” in such a way as to preserve themselves - and not to dissolve in a new and alien environment. Free-thinking is the answer to the Bolshevik coup, it presupposed that radical changes affected only the external forms-civilization itself, but in the field of culture, complete autonomy of the individual with its artistic and philosophical preferences is possible.
