Abstract

This article is focused on the change in the russian literature point of view that took place within the arrival of the Revolution and the request of the new soviet state for a new kind of literature that would be compatible with the speech of the “new society” and that would achieve the necessary ideoligical transformations among the population. I based this article on two very representative aspects of how the soviet literature was submit under pressure during the 20s and 30s: on one hand the censorship and the banning of texts that were considered damaging by the Comunist Party leadership and physical repression of writers, and on the other hand the increasing doctrine of the social realism beeing the motor to stimulate the total unification in the literature in both of its aspects, formal and ideological.
