Esli zavtra vojna... [30-05-1938] - [D073]

Concise description of the directive:

In the artistic propaganda that helps to mobilise the people, a large role belongs to the so-called “small forms” of all literary genres. During the coming war, an enormous responsibility will fall on short poems, songs, short stories etc., i.e. on everything that can be read or recited under wartime conditions. The duty of any author, regardless of their field of work, is to contribute to the creation of a high-quality literary and scenic repertoire useful for military defence (“oboronnaya literatura”).
