Artists in Uniform [PDF ebook] 
A Study of Literature and Bureaucratism

First published in 1934, Artists in Uniform confronts what the author describes as ‘two of the worst features of the Soviet experiment’ following Lenin’s death — bigotry and bureaucratism — and shows how they have functioned in the sphere of arts and letters. It is divided into three parts: The Artist’s International; A Literary Inquisition; and Art and the Marxian Philosophy.
