Abstract

The article covers the issues of the interplay between the artists’ elite and the authorities. The conditions of the creation of the art groups and communities of artists in the 1920s are analyzed, as well as their artistic mission and the content, and the forming of the “art policy” of the Soviet Government and the Communist Party in the 1930s is covered. It is shown that the authorities, having understood the importance of the art, its ability to “charge” people with the right ideas, have focused its “art policy” on the instrumentalization of the art.
