Concise description of the directive:
Our writers young and old must learn from Gorky to seek artistic forms for big ideas, in order to make the most difficult sides of reality comprehensible. The experience of the classics teaches us that the simplicity of great art is not an outward thing, but a simplicity that reflects reality, truthful art and deep thought. The struggle for simplicity and transparency in our art is at the same time the struggle for a complex and profound art.
