During the classes:


  1. Organizing time

Let’s exchange notebooks and conduct a mutual check (if 10 answers are given correctly we put “5”, 8-9 answers “4”, 5-7 answers “3”, less than 5 answers “2”).

Teacher:

Using this test, we repeated the economic events associated with the era of N. Khrushchev's reign.

I would like to start the lesson with the poem “The Thaw” by Nikolai Alekseevich Zabolotsky.

Thaw after a snowstorm.

The blizzard has just died down,

The snowdrifts settled at once

And the snow darkened.

Guys, from this quatrain, what period in our history do you think we will be talking about today? Who can tell me what a thaw is? (In the TSB, the following definition is given: Thaw, an increase in temperature to positive values ​​during a stable frosty period).

And we have to find out what a thaw is in the life of our country.

Teacher: And now I invite you to remember what phenomena and events led to changes in spiritual life in society in 1953-1964. Slide 4

Students:


  1. March 5, 1953 – death of Stalin.

  2. February 1956 - XX Party Congress.

  3. Condemnation of the cult of personality.

  4. Return of the repressed (rehabilitation).

  5. Softening of foreign policy.

  6. Attempts to reform the socio-economic sphere, including the abolition of tuition fees, the start of mass housing construction, increasing pensions, lowering the retirement age; collective farmers received passports, monetary payment for their labor and pensions for collective farmers were introduced.
Teacher: Well done boys. These events became the key events. Resulting in changes in the spiritual life of society.

In order to form our own opinion about the changes that occurred in culture and society during the “Khrushchev Thaw”, we will need to work in class, pay attention to the exhibition of books that I have prepared for you, you can look at it during the break.

The Khrushchev “thaw” of the late 50s and early 60s is not spring in the sense that we understand it, but it is hopes for spring changes in the country.

Slide 5Khrushchev's thaw - an unofficial designation for the period in the history of the USSR after the death of I.V. Stalin (mid-1950s - mid-1960s). Let's write down this definition in our notebook.

Guys, why do you think this period got this name?

The “thaw” refers to a special spiritual state of society associated with the beginning of democratization and renewal of the country’s spiritual life.

A contemporary said this about his era: “My generation entered life in an unforgettable time. It was the era of the 20th Congress - an era of great hopes. I remember the midnight crowd at the just opened monument to Mayakovsky, this unforgettable, endless Russian dispute - about the main thing. To us not only people and names returned, but faith returned to us.”

4. Learning new material

Teacher: The first manifestations of the “cultural thaw” were V. Pomerantseva’s article “On Sincerity in Literature”, I. Ehrenburg’s story “The Thaw” (it was after its appearance that the word became socially significant), etc. Slide 6. These works posed very important questions for our society: why truth (sincerity) in literature and life was replaced by lies, what is the purpose of the intelligentsia, what is suppressed or presented falsely in our history. A sign of the times has become the desire to overcome the recent past.

New World published articles written in a new key by V. Ovechkin, F. Abramov, M. Lifshits, as well as the widely known works of I. Ehrenburg (“The Thaw”), V. Panova (“Seasons”), F. Panferova (“Mother Volga River”), etc. In them, the authors moved away from varnishing people’s real lives. For the first time, the question was raised about the destructiveness of the atmosphere that had developed in the country for the intelligentsia. However, the authorities recognized the publication of these works as “harmful” and removed A. Tvardovsky from the management of the magazine. Slide 7.

Life itself raised the question of the need to change the leadership style of the Writers' Union and its relations with the CPSU Central Committee. A. Fadeev’s attempts to achieve this led to his disgrace and then his death. Slide 8.

He left behind a suicide letter. Let's read it with you.

edited by A.F. Kiselev, E.M. Shchagin. M: Humanitarian. ed. VLADOS center, 1996 p.471-472.)

(in his suicide letter, he noted that art in the USSR was “ruined by the self-confident and ignorant leadership of the party,” and writers, even the most recognized ones, were reduced to the status of boys, destroyed, “ideologically scolded and called it partisanship”).

V. Dudintsev (“Not by Bread Alone”), D. Granin (“Seekers”), E. Dorosh (“Village Diary”) spoke about this in their works.

The inability to act by repressive methods forced the party leadership to look for new methods of influencing the intelligentsia. Since 1957, meetings between the leadership of the Central Committee and literary and artistic figures have become regular. Slide 9.

Now let's work with the textbook. 289 From the speech of N.S. Khrushchev in front of literary and artistic figures.

What boundaries of creative freedom were established by Khrushchev? How specific were they?

The personal tastes of N. S. Khrushchev, who made numerous speeches at these meetings, acquired the character of official assessments. Such unceremonious intervention did not find support not only among the majority of the participants in these meetings and among the intelligentsia in general, but also among the broadest sections of the population.

After the 20th Congress of the CPSU, ideological pressure in the field of musical art, painting, and cinematography was somewhat weakened. Responsibility for the “excesses” of previous years was assigned to Stalin, Beria, Zhdanov, Molotov, Malenkov and others. Slide 10.

In May 1958, the Central Committee of the CPSU issued a resolution “On correcting errors in the evaluation of the operas “Great Friendship”, “Bogdan Khmelnitsky” and “from the bottom of my heart”, which recognized the previous assessments of D. Shostakovich, S. Prokofiev, A. as unsubstantiated and unfair. Khachaturyan, V. Shebalin, G. Popov, N. Myaskovsky and others. Slide 11.

Report about Shostakovich D.

Guys, who can tell me what a symphony is? (A symphony is a piece for orchestra written in the form of a sonata cycle.)

I would like you to listen to the most famous symphony of D. D. Shostakovich 7, or as it is called the Leningrad Symphony. Listening.

What mood do you feel after listening to this piece?

The Germans also heard this work and on August 9, 1942, they wrote. We realized that we would lose the war. We felt your strength, capable of overcoming hunger, fear and even death...

Galina Lelyukhina, flutist:

There were loudspeakers, the Germans heard it all. As they later said, the Germans all went crazy when they heard this. They thought that the city was dead.

Why didn't the Nazis shoot? No, they shot, or rather, they tried to shoot. They aimed at the white-columned hall, they wanted to shoot at the music. But the 14th artillery regiment of Leningraders brought down an avalanche of fire on the fascist batteries an hour before the concert, providing seventy minutes of silence necessary for the performance of the symphony. Not a single enemy shell fell near the Philharmonic, nothing stopped the music from sounding over the city and over the world, and the world, hearing it, believed: this city will not surrender, this people are invincible!

The policy of the “thaw” in spiritual life, therefore, had very definite boundaries.

The campaign against B. Pasternak and his novel “Doctor Zhivago” is indicative. The award of the Nobel Prize for this novel put the writer practically outlawed; he was expelled from the Writers' Union, and the manuscript was published in Italy. At this time, a resolution of the presidium of the board of the Union of Writers of the USSR was published, which condemned the actions and ideas of Pasternak.

He refused to receive it, saying he would not leave the country. But the persecution of Pasternak did not stop. Slide 12.

Along with the persecution of Pasternak, Solzhenitsyn’s works “One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich” and “Matrenin’s Court” were published, which revolutionized the ideology of the common people.

Now let's go with you Let's listen to a fragment from the work “One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.”

Guys, who do you think is the main character of this work? (A.I. Solzhenitsyn himself)

What is the main character talking about? (the whole truth about camp life)

Slide 13. It is interesting that Khrushchev himself gave the go-ahead for the release of these works. In an effort to prevent the massive nature of anti-Stalinist publications, which affected not only Stalinism, but also the entire totalitarian system, Khrushchev in his speeches drew the writer’s attention to the fact that “this is a very dangerous topic and difficult material” and it is necessary to deal with it, “observing a sense of proportion.” " Official “limiters” also operated in other spheres of culture.

Not only writers and poets (A. Voznesensky, D. Granin, V. Dudintsev, E. Evtushenko, S. Kirsanov) were regularly subjected to sharp criticism for “ideological dubiousness”, “underestimation of the leading role of the party”, “formalism”, etc. , K. Paustovsky, etc.), Slide 14. but also sculptors, artists, directors (E. Neizvestny, R. Falk, M. Khutsiev), philosophers, historians. Slide 15.

However, during these years many literary works appeared (“The Fate of a Man” by M. Sholokhov, Report about Sholokhov M. “Silence” by Yu. Bondarev), Slide 16. films (“The Cranes Are Flying” by M. Kalatozov, “Clear Sky” by G. Chukhrai), paintings that received national recognition precisely because of their life-affirming power and optimism, based on the new course of the Soviet leadership. Slide 16.

5. Consolidation of what has been learned

To consolidate the material, I propose to analyze R. Rozhdestvensky’s poem “History.” We use an element of the game technology “Choose the right one”. The text of the poem and questions for it are on your tables.

The story is straightforward and ridiculous!

From the bustle.

From dullness of the soul.

And they repainted it!

And they repainted it!

Story!

A funny story!

Listen!

You're not just archive dust!

Guys, I give you 1 minute. For that. So that you can work on your own.

Teacher: What conclusion can be drawn?

– What does he offer?

(Such works show the position of authors who do not agree with a single ideology within the Soviet system; they have the right to express their thoughts as they see fit, and the country’s political leadership tried in every possible way to keep culture within the “framework.”)

6. Summing up.

So, the Stalinist cold is a thing of the past, but real warmth has not arrived. The “thaw” could cause a flood that threatened to destroy the entire system. Control over people's minds has become more flexible and sophisticated, but no less strict. These years were an invitation to freedom, but not freedom itself. After the “thaw”, “frosts” struck again and the real “spring” was still very far away.

Created for great creativity in the name of communism, from the age of sixteen connected with the party, with the workers, with the peasants, endowed by God with extraordinary talent, I was full of the highest thoughts and feelings that the life of the people, united with the wonderful ideals of communism, can generate.

But they turned me into a dray horse; all my life I trudged along under a load of incompetent, unjustified, innumerable bureaucratic tasks that could have been carried out by any person.

And even now, when you sum up your life, it is unbearable to remember all the amount of shouts, suggestions, teachings and simply ideological vices that befell me - of whom our wonderful people would have the right to be proud due to the authenticity and modesty of my inner, deeply communist talent. Literature, this highest fruit of the new system, has been humiliated, persecuted, ruined. The complacency of the comrades from the great Leninist teaching, even when they swear by it, this teaching, led to complete distrust of them on my part, because from them one can expect worse than from the satrap Stalin. He was at least educated, but these were ignoramuses.

My life, as a writer, loses all meaning, and with great joy, as a deliverance from this vile existence, where meanness, lies and slander fall upon you, I am leaving this life.

The last hope was to at least tell this to the people who rule the state, but for the past 3 years, despite my requests, they cannot even accept me...

I. – Government officials do not tell the whole truth to their people.

II. – History as a science is distorted to please the authorities.

V. – Draw conclusions from the discussion of the proposed issues

We listen to an excerpt from a poem and work with the text.

The story is beautiful, like a glow.

History is cursed, like beggary!

Transforming people anew and retreating before baseness.

The story is straightforward and ridiculous!

How often were you called - remember!

Bad when she was great!

Good - even though she was shamefully vile!

How you depended on petty tastes.

From the bustle.

From dullness of the soul.

How afraid you were of the rulers who measure

You to your invented arshin!

By swearing by you, the peoples were stupefied.

Hiding behind you, they robbed the lands!

You were powdered and browned,

And they repainted it!

And they repainted it!

You were filled with heart-rending screams

And raised the frail to giants...

Story!

A funny story!

Listen!

You're not just archive dust!
