对于劳动者的美育问题的真正研究,开始于苏维埃政权建立初期。当时,正是国家面临着困难时期,一些社会主义文化的理论家和实践家们,已从观察到的众多新的现象中,开始思索这个社会要求的实质性问题。这一问题,是由生活本身决定的。首先在列宁与克拉拉·蔡特金的一次谈话中被正式提出来了。当讲到新时期文艺的任务时,列宁强调指出;艺术“应当唤醒他们(指群众——作者)中的艺术家,使之发展成熟”。因此,从苏维埃政权建立开始,苏联党和政府便制定了一系列方针政策来提高人民群众和整个民族的文化水平。 A true study of laborers’ aesthetic education began in the early days of Soviet power. At that time, it was precisely the time when the country was in difficulty. Some of the socialist cultural theoreticians and practitioners have begun to ponder over the substantive issues that this society demanded from the many new phenomena observed. This problem is determined by life itself. First of all, it was formally put forward in a conversation between Lenin and Clara Zeitkin. When it comes to the task of literature and art in the new era, Lenin emphasized that art should “awaken artists in them and make them mature.” Therefore, starting from the founding of the Soviet political power, the Soviet party and government have formulated a series of guidelines and policies to raise the cultural level of the people and the entire nation.
