Soviet Russia from the perspective of literature

Abstract

After winning the Civil War, the Bolsheviks began building a completely new society. Immense challenges facing a society that was one of the most backward in Europe, with the infrastructure of railways, roads and factories destroyed by the years of conflict. Isolated communist Russia could only rely on its own resources for this task. This article presents, through the dialogue with the literature, some aspects of this construction, seeking to apprehend, through the analysis of works of the first decade after the Revolution, the transformations brought about by the revolution. So it addresses the novels as sources, Chklóvski's Viagem Senitmental, Oliécha's Inveja, Pilniak's O Ano Nu and O Diário de Kóstia Riabtsev, written by Ognióv.
