III“Vladimir Ilyich believed that culture in the broadest sense of the word is connected in two ways with the communist revolution. In the first place, it serves as a natural premise for it, though not in time, but,  so to speak, in the general structure. Secondly, it is the goal of the communist revolution.” A. Lunacharsky.

“Literature cannot be studied outside the history of society and the history of literature itself. In the legacy of Lenin there are precious indications that reveal the inner meaning of the economic, political and cultural history of our country, without understanding which it is impossible either to know the past of literature or to comprehend its present and future historically.

A. Lunacharsky.
