The Second All-Union Congress of Soviet Writers, compared to the first, which marked the triumph of the aesthetics of Stalinism, until recently remained almost forgotten. Nevertheless, it was in December 1954 that it became one of the key events of the early thaw. Valery Vyugin, on the basis of archival materials, seeks to reconstruct not only the events of the Congress itself, but also the context surrounding it, trying to find answers to the following series of questions: what preceded the Congress and how was the preparation for it? How was the political legacy of the Stalinist regime that had just died in Bose influenced its participants? From the clash of which ideologies and sentiments did the congress polemics develop? Whose performances played a major role in it? And was the convention finally "thawed" in its essence? The book includes archival materials related to the most striking speeches made at the Congress (I. G. Ehrenburg, O. F. Bergholts, M. A. Sholokhov), as well as an unpublished speech by the Minister of Culture of the USSR G. F. Alexandrov. Valery Vyugin is a doctor of philological sciences, a leading researcher at the Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkin House) of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
