Literature and revolution

Trotsky’s work, translated into many languages, widely popular among the “left” intellectuals of the West, first published in 1923, then banned in the USSR and published in Russia only in 1991.
A book that the author worked for many years from 1907 to 1923
In his assertive and expression manner, the author reflects on the ideological role of art-not only literature, but also painting, theater and even architecture-in the formation of a new personality type, and very harshly criticizes, with, with one part of the “proletarian swaggering” of semi-literate ideologists and the representatives of bohemian avant-garde who dreamed of “throwing off the old culture from the ship of modernity”, and on the other hand, is no less whilly paced through the traditional-patriarchal addictions in the art of Lenin and especially Stalin (although not directly. One of them is not called in the book)
