Abstract
The article deals with an issue of the labor collectives’ names in Soviet society. The fact that collectives have names indicates that the people of that society regarded them as personalities, because only a person can have a name.
The ideas of the philosophy of myth and the philosophy of the name created by AF Losev are used as a theoretical and methodological basis. According to AF Losev, socialism is a society where material production is absolutized. Under socialism, a person is understood only as part of a labor collective, which is a collective personality and it is precisely the entity which gives the status of the personality to an individual. Through the name of the collective, the latter is integrated into social reality, communicates with other collectives and the state. The article classifies the names of collectives, suggests that such a phenomenon represented the secularization of the tradition of naming churches in Russian Orthodoxy.
