Résumé anglais Alexis Berelowitch, From Listopad to Onisimov. Two visions of Stalinist executives. In this article, it is endeavored to make use of literary works to outline a portrait of a manager of an enterprise at the time of Stalin. The two novels analyzed in this work are Kruzhili- kha of V. Panova (awarded the Stalin prize) and The new assignment (Novoe naznachenie) of Alexander Век, which has been forbidden for a long time in USSR. The two novels describe a manager who is all powerful as far as his subordinates are concerned but deprived of any rights whatsoever when faced with his superiors. These technically competent managers seem to be inspired in the lirst place by devotion and allegiance. So. the picture that is drawn up is less the one of a hierarchy of bureaucratic power than (hat of an archaic system of personal allegiance within which Stalin is the only source of power and legitimacy.
