The Concept Of "Socialist Realism" As A Universal Method
Abstract
This article explores the concept of socialist realism as a universal method of artistic representation, officially established in the Soviet Union during the 1930s. It examines the ideological foundations, aesthetic principles, and implications of its proclaimed universality across various art forms. The article also discusses the limitations and transformations of the method, particularly in the context of its post-Soviet reevaluation.
