V. Lenin, Oct. 8, 1920
The proletarian culture “must not advance ‘special ideas, but Marxism,” since, “Soviet Russia needed ‘not the invention of a new proletarian culture but the development of the best forms, traditions, and results of existing culture from the viewpoint of the philosophy of Marxism and the living conditions and struggle of the proletariat in the period of the dictatorship.’”
Louis Fischer, The Life of Lenin (Harper and Row, 1964), p. 492.

“Poetry today is not some impudent nightingale’s piping — poetry is government service, poetry is usefulness.”
