Encyclopedia > Socialist realism in Poland

Socialist realism in Poland (or socrealizm) was introduced to People's Republic of Poland in force by Deputy Minister (later, Minister of Art and Culture) Włodzimierz Sokorski in 1949. As in all of the Eastern Bloc, socialist realism was supposed to be a major cultural and art movement backing Stalinization and spreading communist ideals.
