Summary/Abstract: “The Chronicles of Vladimir” are six songs by the English rock band The Stranglers. Most of them were recorded during the 1980s and they mock the life in the totalitarian system of Soviet Communism. We consider them as an example of constructing heteropragmatic otherness with an aim of pointing out the misanthropy of totalitarianism, where individualism as a social ontological stance is opposed to the existing ways of human social and cultural organization in general.
