At a time of high uncertainty and change in the history of urbanization, it is of particular interest to bring the Soviet city - the great biopolitical and urban laboratory of recent history - to a central position in urban debates. The aim of this article is the development of an operational definition of the post-Soviet city that allows to bring it out of the periphery of knowledge, as well as the establishment of a methodological framework that serves to analyze the variety of transformation patterns of the sotsgorod, understood as an ideological structure, in the current post-Soviet context.
