This article addresses the material remuneration and consumer capacity of workers in the Adygei autonomous region in the 1920s. The author points up difficulties with the analysis of relevant sources and the study of the issue in question. The article draws a conclusion that the poor material aspect of daily subsistence led as early as the late 1920s to that the “Homo Biologicus” became the main character of the Soviet era and that for many hardship and privation shifted the focus of attention away from their rights and civil dignity.
