Many Soviet authors were forced to work within writers’ unions and societies to produce propaganda narratives. These works could be dedicated to the next anniversary of the Party, huge construction projects, military victories, expository criticism of “enemies of the people,” and so on. Poet Mykola Bazhan wrote poems about the accession of Western Ukraine to the Ukrainian SSR. Pavlo Tychyna wrote many texts about the leadership of the CPSU and Ukrainian-Russian friendship. Soviet literature initiatives produced hundreds of such texts annually, geared toward specific age groups. There was always a demand for industrial novels about factories and poems about October-born children and milkmaids.
