The Zhdanov Doctrine (also called zhdanovism or zhdanovshchina, (ロシア語:доктрина Жданова, ждановизм, ждановщина)) was a Soviet cultural doctrine developed by Central Committee secretary Andrei Zhdanov in 1946. It proposed that the world was divided into two camps: the "imperialistic", headed by the United States; and "democratic", headed by the Soviet Union.〔Encyclopedia of censorship, p. 668.〕 The main principle of the Zhdanov doctrine was often summarized by the phrase "The only conflict that is possible in Soviet culture is the conflict between good and best". Zhdanovism soon became a Soviet cultural policy, meaning that Soviet artists, writers and intelligentsia in general had to conform to the party line in their creative works. Under this policy, artists who failed to comply with the government's wishes risked persecution. The policy remained in effect until the death of Joseph Stalin in 1953.〔Taruskin (2010), 12〕 The 1946 resolution of the Central Committee was directed against two literary magazines, ''Zvezda'' and ''Leningrad'', which had published supposedly apolitical, "bourgeois", individualistic works of the satirist Mikhail Zoshchenko and the poet Anna Akhmatova. Earlier some critics and literary historians were denounced for suggesting that Russian classics had been influenced by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Molière, Lord Byron or Charles Dickens. A further decree on music was issued on 10 February 1948 and marked the beginning of the so-called "anti-formalism campaign". Nominally aimed at Vano Muradeli's opera ''The Great Friendship'', it signaled a sustained campaign of criticism and persecution against many of the Soviet Union's foremost composers, notably Dmitri Shostakovich, Sergei Prokofiev and Aram Khachaturian for alleged "formalism" in their music. The decree was followed in April by a special congress of the Composers' Union, where many of those attacked were forced publicly to repent. The campaign was satirized in the ''Anti-Formalist Rayok'' by Shostakovich. The composers condemned were formally rehabilitated by a further decree issued on 28 May 1958. ==Bibliography== *Green, Jonathan, and Nicholas J. Karolides. 2005. ''The encyclopedia of censorship.''
