Description
Summary:Regional groups of proletarian writers are often neglected, thus the data about its exact number and professional compound has not been shown yet. As for the Volga Region the data can illustrate the response to many questions, one of them is why the Saratov Association of Proletarian Writers was the largest in the region, and the second — when the turning point in its history took place. It has been proven that Proletkult, stopped functioning between January and June 1927, and that legally, this organization split up in June. Both processes mentioned in the article were related to the exile of L.G. Kalmanson (G. Lelevich) to Saratov. Since the slow speed of literary processes in regions affected the pace of literary confrontations there as well, it is crucially important to identify the date of birth of the Proletarian Writers Group in every region. There is a high possibility that the later the group was developed, the more it will differ from its Moscow counterpart; that is why we need to focus on the regional data.
