Klassičeskij obrazec bol'ševistskoj kritiki [26-09-1938] - [D081]

Concise description of the directive:

Lenin’s article on Lev Tolstoy should be a model for all our critics. Some aestheticising critics think that there is no need to socially evaluate literary works. They do not understand that there are truly great artists who have always described some essential side of reality in their works. There can be no gap between social analysis, scientific analysis and aesthetic evaluation.
