From Encyclopedia Britannica:
Socialist Realism -
officially sanctioned theory and method of literary composition
prevalent in the Soviet Union from 1932 to the mid-1980s. For that
period of history Socialist Realism was the sole criterion for
measuring literary works. Defined and reinterpreted over years of
polemics, it remains a vague term.
Socialist Realism follows the great tradition of 19th-century Russian
realism in that it purports to be a faithful and objective mirror of
life. It differs from earlier realism, however, in several important
respects. The realism of Leo Tolstoy and Anton Chekhov inevitably
conveyed a critical picture of the society it portrayed (hence the
term critical realism). The primary theme of Socialist Realism is the
building of socialism and a classless society. In portraying this
struggle, the writer could admit imperfections but was expected to
take a positive and optimistic view of socialist society and to keep
in mind its larger historical relevance.
A requisite of Socialist Realism is the positive hero who perseveres
against all odds or handicaps. Socialist Realism thus looks back to
Romanticism in that it encourages a certain heightening and idealizing
of heroes and events to mold the consciousness of the masses. Hundreds
of positive heroes--usually engineers, inventors, or
scientists--created to this specification were strikingly alike in
their lack of lifelike credibility.
