Trečias frontas

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trečias frontas (Lithuanian for: Third Front ) was a Lithuanian literary magazine that was founded in 1930. She played an important role in the cohesion of anti-fascist writers during the Smetona dictatorship. The authors grouped around the magazine called themselves Third Frontists , and they included Kazys Boruta , Petras Cvirka , Kostas Korsakas , Jonas Šimkus , Antanas Venclova and Salomėja Nėris . They later gave up their initially avant-garde program in favor of a combative aesthetic based on Soviet literature. After the magazine was banned by military censorship in 1931, the group disintegrated; however, most authors continued to be literarily productive in a similar manner.
