The article draws attention to the
performance of fear stimulating and
signaling functions in social systems based
on power-property. Within the framework
of Soviet communism, two periods can be
distinguished: in the epoch of Stalinism
GULAG had the key meaning as a “subsystem
of fear”, after Stalinism – various disciplinary
measures, primarily related to membership
in the CPSU. In the post-Soviet period, the
subsystem of fear was revived. It includes
coercive pressure on business, a corruption
trap for the elite, repressions for political
opponents, and coercion to loyalty through
work. The article shows the indivisibility of
power-property and the subsystem of fear.
