Proletarskaya Kul'tura

Proletarskaya Kul'tura (English: Proletarian Culture) was a magazine published by Proletkult.

It was an important political and cultural publication in Russia following the Bolshevik seizure of power. It was edited by Pavel Lebedev-Polianskii and Fedor Kalinin. They published such writers as Alexander Bogdanov and Alexei Gastev.

In the summer of 1919, Rogozinsky's proposal to turn the Proletarian University into the Sverdlov Proletarian University - a proposal accompanied by restrictions in scope limited to creating a training school for government and party officials. This was backed up by an article in Izvestiya distinguishing between a 'proletarian' and 'communist' university. This would mean focusing on training party activists. Research into proletarian science, or producinga "Workers' Encyclopedia" would be set aside. When Maria Smit, a professor at the Proletarian University, submitted a response which said that it was necessary to train leaders as well as organisers Izvestiya declined to publish it, and it appeared in Proletarskaya Kul'tura.[1]
