The book is devoted to the study of the flexibility and mobility of the boundaries of the monstrous"/"inhuman" and "human" choice, which determine the specifics of gender sensuality in the culture of Stalinism. A special subject of analysis is a female existential choice, which is legalized like a radical choice of a Sofoklovsky antigon, which rebelled against the patriarchy of an ancient policy. What is a monstrous choice analyzed by Alenka Zupanchich on the example of Roman William Styron "Selection of Sophie"? If the subject of traditional ethics always sacrifices himself, then in modern ethics the subject is deprived of the opportunity to sacrifice himself. Sophie in the concentration camp raised the question - which of the two children she will agree to send to the gas chamber, and whom she will leave alive. If she does not make a choice, two children will be sent to the camera. Irina Zherebkina applies the methodology of Zupanchich to the occasion of Svetlana Alliluyeva - after all, Svetlana, having left the USSR, betrayed not only her father, but also her children (the son of Joseph and daughter Katya), leaving them without any protection. The main material is the memoirs and memoirs of representatives of the Stalinist nomenclature and members of their families, while the author does not abandon the philosophical parody of the memoir genre - an ordinary genre in feminist theory
