Abstract

The victory of utopian political institutions in the Soviet Union largely affected the book system in that country. The transformation in question reflected the utopian model of the political system implemented in the former Russia.

The author describes the essence of that transformation analyzing particular instances of the Bolshevik censorship and propaganda of the Stalinist period and pointing that the roots of the transformation in question are to be seen in the history of political myths rather than in social utopianism.
