In 1928, the Left Front of the Arts avant-gardists teamed up with the Young Communist League for a shock campaign aimed at eliminating badly designed interiors, knick-knacks and other middle class aesthetic objects under the slogan "down with domestic trash". Tasteless figurines, postcards and mass produced paintings were confiscated and burned in the streets, flower wallpaper ripped from the walls in the "war against ugly philistine aesthetics." We socialists take aesthetics very seriously ;)

"The more deeply anti-fascist literature is embedded in this soil, the better it will be able to create contrasting types of good and evil, models of what should be admired and what hated – and the greater will be its resonence among the people”. -Georg Lukacs
Socialist Realism played a central role in Russian cultural life, a role guaranteed by the power of its symbolic forms to encompass the major cultural forces abroad in both literature and politics. The history of Socialist Realism is, then, not only a history of Soviet literature, but is itself a constitutive element in Russian history.

Socialist Realism involves combining what hitherto seemed uncombinable: verisimilitude and mythacization
