The Union of Writers of Soviet Latvia was an important cultural organization, which was created in 1940 as a subsidiary of the Writers' Union of the Soviet Union, and whose task was to control the literary world and keep it within the confines of Socialist Realism. From the beginning of the 1960s, with the coming of a new generation of writers, the Union’s defense of the national culture and gaining more creative freedom became central issues. These tasks were implemented by combining open demands with accommodating the system and exploiting its weak spots. The collection reflects the political and creative struggle with the authorities and within the Union.
The Soviet Lithuanian Union of Writers was an influential cultural organisation made up of local writers, which was responsible for the spread of Soviet values and the promotion of Lithuanian ethno-particularism. The collection holds many documents, including transcripts of meetings and reports on writers' activities, which reflect the fact that some local writers were eager to support the Lithuanian cultural heritage, and promote the expansion of the boundaries of Modernism in the 1960s and 1970s.
