Russian Association of Proletarian Writers
RAPP ( Russian РАПП - Российская ассоциация пролетарских писателей ., Scientific transliteration pisatelej proletarskich Rossiyskaya Associacija , dt .: "Russian Association of Proletarian Writers") was a literature politically ambitious group in the Soviet literary world between 1925 and 1932. It had the magazine "On Guard" , later "Na literaturnom postu".
The RAPP emerged in the mid-1920s from a series of tactically motivated reorganizations of proletarian groups of writers. Under the leadership of its Secretary General Leopold Leonidovič Averbach , the RAPP played a leading role in Soviet literary policy from 1928 onwards. She was notorious for campaigning against writers who did not conform to the propagated scheme of proletarian literature or ideology.
In April 1932, the RAPP, like other groups of writers, was disbanded on the instructions of the Central Committee of the CPSU and instead the establishment of a uniform Soviet writers' association for all writers in the Soviet Union was ordered.
