The Ukrainian Soviet Writers' Union was an organization established in 1934 to unite writers in Ukraine under the influence of the Soviet regime. Its primary goal was to promote socialist realism in literature, ensuring that works aligned with the ideals of the Communist Party and reflected the values of the Soviet Union. The union played a significant role in shaping Ukrainian literature during the Soviet era, providing support and resources to its members. However, it also imposed strict censorship, limiting creative freedom and often leading to the persecution of writers who deviated from the prescribed themes and styles.
