Abstract

The article presents the results of a cultural and theoretical-artistic analysis of text documents of the magazine “Art to the Masses” published in 1929–1930. Based on the text and conceptual analysis, a conclusion is made that it was at this time in a number of programmatic articles written by the first Soviet art critics (F.S. Roginskaya and L. Roshchin, among others), in discussions, debates, reviews and various forms of art criticism that the basic principles of the development of Soviet culture in the aspect of discussing proletarian fine art were formed. It was these principles that laid the foundations of the basic artistic cultural practices, the sum of which constitutes the space of Soviet culture. Thus, in the article “On the Question of the Creative Method” by Frida Solomonovna Roginskaya and in the articles “Art in Captivity of Borrowings”, “Functionalism is Not Our Style” by L. Roshchin, all the programmatic statements that were subsequently implemented both in creativity and in artistic visual education in the USSR are set out
