How is steel tempered? Artistic achievements.

The greatest achievement of this novel is to successfully create a typical image of a new capitalist, Paul Kochakin, who was trained by the Bolshevik Party and tempered in a revolutionary bonfire and difficult environment.

He wrote a magnificent poem for the party and the people with his class stand of distinguishing love from hatred, lofty moral outlook, high revolutionary passion, magical vitality and iron will.

Many stories in the novel come from the author's personal experience, so it is more real and touching to read. However, the author does not stick to the facts of life, and does a lot of typical treatment of characters and plots. How the Steel was Tempered, like Gorky's autobiographical trilogy, has made an important contribution to the innovation of autobiographical novels.

Creative background:

In the late 1920s and early 1930s, with the end of the new economic policy and the establishment of Stalin's political and economic system, the literary and art circles also demanded a highly centralized and unified situation. During Stalin's period, the state educated young people with the idea of "great unity", paying special attention to the important role of literature and art in cultivating young people's socialist moral quality.

Stalin demanded that literary works should "pursue direct propaganda purposes", and the writing purpose of many works is to instill "* * * capitalist ideals" in young people. The official stressed that the task of literature is to "transform the socialist spirit and educate the working people". The most direct means for literature and art to accomplish this educational function is to create heroes who embody the socialist spirit and ideals.
