Abstract:
State Collective Farms for many of us is a symbol of a bygone era, whose le
gacy is the poverty and social unrest of former residents of the former state-
-owned farms. Such a picture is partly a consequence of entering this com
munity into a model that was shaped in the communist system, and the PGR
man is referred to as homo sovieticus. Keeping in mind that this evaluative
image affects the deepening gap in social knowledge about the past of PGRs.
Where the incompleteness of knowledge about this place and its inhabitants
is visible, as well as the resulting deformations of the intellectual view of reali
ty, contributing to the stratification of myths and stereotypes and its socio-hi-
storical evaluation. The next step will be the analysis of the social phenome
non, which I refer to as an unconscious social inclusion, among others people
with intellectual disabilities in state-owned farms, which in the context of mo
dern inclusive policy solutions is an important voice, albeit unfortunately very
poorly audible or unwanted due to the stigma of homo sovieticus. The text
is intellectually and emotionally entangled in the applied research strategy,
which is autoethnography. Because as a resident of one of the state farms,
where I lived and educated from an early age. The description of a specific
place and people living in it through a direct clash on the one hand with the
truth and on the other hand prejudices and stereotypes allows for a deeper
understanding of, among others, by the researcher's own source experience,
which refers to his participation in this culture - past and present.
