The question of the aesthetic canon of the Stalinist era and the related problem of the interaction between aesthetics and politics in the postwar USSR are central and yet the least explored fragments of the cultural history of the "small" twentieth century. What institutions and agencies were used to ensure communication between the political and aesthetic spheres? What role did the Stalin Prize for Literature and Art play in this process? Dmitry Tsyganov's book is the first study based entirely on archival sources and contains a detailed description and comprehensive analysis of the institutional appearance of the Stalin Prize for Literature. The author not only examines the details of the work of the Stalin Prize Committee and the nuances of awarding the prizes, but also reconstructs the key cultural trends that determined the dynamics of the socialist realist literary project. By showing the complex mutual influence of various institutions that shaped the canon of the Stalinist era, the researcher leads the reader away from simplifying schematization and offers a more comprehensive view of the literary process of the 1930s and early 1950s. Dmitry Tsyganov is a philologist, cultural historian, and researcher at the Institute of International Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
