Soviet writers were authors who produced literature during the era of the Soviet Union, from 1922 to 1991. They often faced strict government control and censorship, which influenced their work. Many writers were expected to promote Socialist Realism, a style that depicted the lives of ordinary people and the achievements of the state. Notable Soviet writers include Mikhail Bulgakov, known for his novel "The Master and Margarita," and Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who wrote "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich." These authors navigated the challenges of expressing their ideas while adhering to the political climate of their time.
