The process of developing a socialist way of life means the struggle for overcoming the remnants, remnants of the non -socialist lifestyle in people’s activities «. This provision makes, on the one hand, to follow the path of developing a normative model, and on the other, to study the degree of its implementation in life, respectively, to identify discrepancies between it and the actually existing way of life of certain groups. Although the normative model of a rural lifestyle in the strict sense has not yet been created, many provisions of software documents and the results of numerous villages of the village allow us to formulate some elements of such a model. It should be noted that the composition of the regulatory model may include those types of activities by which criteria for distinguishing the desired and not desired, proper and incredible, good and bad. So, it is known that labor should be a vital need, leisure to the substantive and enriching personality, public activity of highly developed. The presence of these criteria allows us to distinguish that specific quality of labor, leisure, social activity, which is characteristic of socialism and distinguishes these activities from similar in the conditions of a capitalist society. But in many cases there are no such criteria. So, they are not in relation to pendulum mobility of the population, home labor. Indeed, what is the specific for socialism of the territorial mobility of people? What should be its intensity? Apparently, this behavior to a certain extent is neutral regarding the socio-political system or, at least, connected with it not directly, but indirectly. The same goes for homework. There is a criterion only for assessing the connection between family and labor activities: insufficient inclusion of socio-production activities, concentration of life within the family is evaluated as a lower level of development of lifestyle compared to where the personality is actively involved in production activities. But to evaluate a particular type of home labor as a socialist or non -socialist, unambiguous criteria.
