In my analysis, I abstracted eight diverse types of consciousness, five of which are political in their nature.  \nEugene Matusov is a Professor of Education at the University of Delaware.

He suspected that the answer could be given only through a physiological examination of the person’s body, “A person who says ‘yes’undergoes a careful examination to check if behind this ‘yes’ is lurking hidden ‘no’. The exact answer can be achieved only by a urine test, which is very difficult to obtain from the person” (Zhvanetsky, 2001, p. 175, translation from Russian is mine) . For the purpose of this investigation, I define a type of political consciousness heuristically as somewhat consistent subjectivity. The goal of this essay is to investigate this phenomenon of political multiple consciousness in the totalitarian country of the Soviet Union through my autobiographical memoir of my Soviet childhood, schooling and teaching.  \nIn my autobiographical memoir focused on my Soviet childhood and schooling of the 1960s-1970sand, to a lesser degree, of my role as a Soviet physics teacher in Moscow in the 1980s, which is commonly considered as a “post-totalitarian” or “cold” Communist regime (cf. Vaclav Havel), I want to consider several important mutually related puzzles. The first puzzle is about the relationship of Soviet people with the Soviet  \n1 I am thankful to Alexander and Olga Bromberg, Marek Tesar, Ana Marjanovic-Shane, Lei Chen, Iveta Silova, and Helen Aydarova for their encouragement, feedback, support, and discussions of previous drafts of the paper.  \nDialogic Pedagogy: An International Online Journal | [http://dpj.pitt.edu](http://dpj.pitt.edu)  \n[DOI: 10.5195/dpj.2018](DOI: 10.5195/dpj.2018) .240 | Vol. 6 (2018)  \nSC4  \nIdeological and real socialism of my Soviet childhood, schooling, and teaching  \nEugene Matusov  \nofficial totalitarian ideology of Communism: did the people under totalitarianism really believe in the totalitarian ideology? Several past cultural critics and political science scholars commented on the phenomenon of double-consciousness among people oppressed by totalitarianism (e.g. , Orwell, DuBois, Wertsch, Havel, and so on) . But in my personal historical experience, the phenomenon was more complex that would allow me to talk about political multiple consciousness, rather than just double.  \nMy second major inquiry is developmental: how did these diverse political consciousnesses emerge in Soviet children through their socialization and reply to the Soviet (post)totalitarianism?  \nMy third major inquiry involves the relationship between “ideological” and “real” socialism, which were not mutually exclusive.
