Descripción
Sumario:"Leaders of the Soviet Union, Stalin chief among them, well understood the power of art, and their response was to attempt to control and direct it in every way possible. This book examines Soviet cultural politics from the Revolution to Stalin's death in 1953. Drawing on a wealth of newly released documents from the archives of the former Soviet Union, the book provides remarkable insight on relations between Gorky, Pasternak, Babel, Meyerhold, Shostakovich, Eisenstein, and many other intellectuals and the Soviet leadership. Stalin's role in directing these relations, and his literary judgments and personal biases, will astonish many." "The documents presented in this volume reflect the progression of Party control in the arts. They include decisions of the Politburo, Stalin's correspondence with individual intellectuals, his responses to particular plays, novels, and movie scripts, petitions to leaders from intellectuals, and secret police reports on intellectuals under surveillance. Introductions, explanatory materials, and a biographical index accompany the documents."--Jacket
Notas:"This book is based on selections from a book of documents compiled by Andrei Artizov and Oleg Naumov and published in Russian as Vlastʹ i khudozhestvennaia intelligentsiia : dokumenty TsK RKP(b)--VKP(b), VChK--OGPU--NKVD o kulʹturnoi politike, 1917-1953 gg (Power and the creative intelligentsia : documents (of the Communist Party and the secret Police) on cultural policy, 1917-1953) by Mezhdunarodny fond Demokratia (International Democracy Foundation), Moscow, 1999"--Title page verso.
