The article analyzes the reaction of the bureaucratic structures of the Soviet Union to Vladimir Gubarev’s play Sarcophagus, published shortly after the Chernobyl accident. The author examines how bureaucratic mechanisms interpret works of art as potential threats to the social order. Based on Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of social crises, the article explores works of state symbolic violence, its role in shaping the perception of objects of the world by various agents, and the techniques that are used by the state apparatus to tame fantasy and restore the boundaries between different social fields
