Abstract
Western critics with an alert eye on literary events on the Soviet scene have recently noticed an unusual and noteworthy phenomenon. The Soviet literary community has dared place itself in a bargaining position vis-a-vis the government to defend a certain freedom of expression, rebelling against the delimiting framework imposed by the Party on the scope of literature. This is a significant move in the eyes of western observers who interpret it as a possible prelude to further expressions of assertiveness, perhaps in fields beyond literature. For to oppose rules of literary conduct is tantamount to contradicting the State, and could prove a hazardous undertaking; and then again, seen optimistically, the avant garde move might prove to be a decisive factor in a relaxed attitude by the State.
