The objective of thisresearch was to analyse the Pistrakian proposal for a unified labour school inthe context of the Bolshevik revolution, seeking a criticalanalysis of its content and a correlation with educating the homo novus for the emerging Soviet socialist society. The methodology used to construct the text was based on bibliographic research on the main written works by the socialist pedagogue translated into Portuguese, namely: A escola-comuna (2009), Ensaiossobre a escolapolitécnica (2015) and Fundamentos da escola do trabalho (2018) (The school-commune, Essays on the polytechnic school, and Foundations of the labour school, respectively). Finally, Russian educators provided  pedagogical conceptions to students to educate the new man, a man of another kind, a man for the communist sociability. These conceptionstranslate the notions of organisation, autonomy, collectivity, and self-management.
