Čto gotovit Gosizdat dlja kolchoznogo čitatelja? [10-06-1937] - [D043]

Concise description of the directive:

The level of culture of the peasants of the kolkhozes is increasing all the time. They do not only want to read fiction; they also want to learn more about the writers and their historical and social environments. Goslitizdat should therefore plan a series of popular books about the life, times and the most important classics of Russian and western literature. The peasants want to learn the biographies and characteristics of the art of the most important western anti-fascist writers (Romain Rolland, Louis Aragon, André Malraux etc.).
