ENGL 338 Chapter page 64-75: Kenez- Bolshevik Cultural Policies
Document Summary
A history of the soviet union: bolshevik cultural policies by kenez. The turning point of soviet cultural history occurred at the end of the nep era. Without these things, socialism couldn"t happen: culture also meant discipline, with such poverty, despite the support of the people, the bolsheviks couldn"t invest in scientists. More provincial bolsheviks hated scientists, seeing them as too bourgeoisie: the revolution killed the arts and film. Most famous artists (of all artistic fields) left to. Those who stayed wanted to be creative, but much of their proposed change was not in line with party ideology: during lenin"s rule, post-revolution, the publishing industry was supported and uncensored. However, the problem for publishers wasn"t government censorship, but the economy crash. Private publishing houses were closing because there were no raw materials, and the distribution system was failing. (1919) the government opened a state publishing house, gosizdat, to centralize publishing.
