Abstract

One of Stalin's policies in the Cultural Revolution was to censor art and literature. After the October Revolution there were major changes in Russian art and culture. By censorship, the political rulers tried to replace the old culture with the proletarian culture and give a justified face to the revolution and its achievements. One of the most important organizations created to accomplish the goals of the revolution was Proletcult. One of the main theorists of this organization was Bagdanov. He oversaw the writers' activities and, after rigorous scrutiny and censorship, permitted the publication of literary works. Literature and art had become tools for the realization of the purposes of the revolution. In the Soviet era, art and work were in the same category of importance. In this article, the content of the Proletcult directives will be analysed, and the role and impact of the Proletcult on Russian literary of the 20th century will be examined.
