V partijnoj organizacii Goslitizdata [20-07-1938] - [D069]

Concise description of the directive:

At the meeting of Communist Party members in Goslitizdat, the work of the classical works sector was severely criticised. In two and a half years, not a single volume of Literaturnaya entsiklopediya (Encyclopaedia of Literature) has been published; too much time is taken up with the publication of Balzac, Flaubert, Goethe, etc.
