Abstract
Methodology. The authors studied a set of sources, phrased and verified the hypothesis of the article based on the analysis of authentic facts with the involvement of a representative historiographical sample.
Results. Social deviations were an integral and quite significant part of everyday life and sociopolitical development of the USSR during the Great Patriotic War. They were distinguished by a significant type and species diversity. Given the extreme historical conditions, it may be stated that deviant behavior was an additional risk factor that significantly reduced the stability and resistance of the Soviet Union in the face of external aggression. At the same time, Soviet society and the state developed a wide range of educational and repressive measures that allowed not only to stop the negative social consequences of deviant behavior, but also to increase the viability of the social system. The absolutization of negative examples as an argument in favor of a negative assessment of the entire Soviet era is unacceptable. The prevention of the development of social deviations into a destructive pathogenesis of society and the state was the result of the successful synthesis of values and principles of traditional society with the technologies of the Modern era in management.
Research implications. The data and scientific results systematized in the article help to gain a deeper understanding of the Soviet era, allowing in the future to build a unified theory of the history of Russia in the twentieth century. In addition, the materials of the article can be used in teaching students of humanities and patriotic education of schoolchildren.
