That time vulgar sociology embraced all fields of cultural-moral life, even theory of literature and poetics.

History of Azerbaijani literature of the soviet period considered that “honourable and hard way” passed by the proletariat who was the most revolutonary and struggling class was not discribed yet in necessary standart from epic point of view. Its formation, influence of the revolution of 1905-1907 on the movement of freedom, invincible might of the proletariat, October revolution and Aprel “revolution” (1920), civil war, popular movement against foreign conquerors, bourgeois-landowners' ruling were still to be discribed in literature. These subjects were adopted since thirties especially, by novel writers.

Literary critic G.Khalilov in his fundamental research called “On History of Development of Azerbaijani novel” (1973) analysed and discussed the sources, ideological- artistic features of the works written in this genre till the soviet period, the problems of subject, conflict, character, language, style etc. But naturally, G.Khalilov could not overcome the ideology of his times and researched the soviet novels mainly from social-political point of view. He noted that Azerbaijani novel developed mainly in two directions till 1940 and afterwords.

1.                       The works expressing history of development of the working class (“Shamo”, “The World Breaks out”, “The Students”, “In 1917”, “The Fighting City”, “Secret Baku”, “The Manifest of a Young Man”, “Araz”, “The Morning”) etc.;

2.                       The works expressing the people's difficulties appeared on the way of creation of new life, socialism, real pictures of the collectivization (“The Ascents”, “Gahraman”, “Tarlan”, “The Open Book”, “The Girl with Plait” etc. ). The works about collective-farms, oil-workers' life and other industrial fields were included to this list as well (2, 104-105).

To our mind this division is mechanical and including the novels written in 30-50-s of the last century to such cliche limits the research of the artistic-aesthetic and scientific-theoretical peculiarities of the stage which covers wide literary process of searches and creation.

Generally we think that estimation of the novels “Shamo”, “The World Breaks Out” or “The Manifest of a Young Man” from the working class and revolutionary point of view is wrong, isn't it? Especially, including the novels “The Students” and “In 1917” by Y.V.Chamanzaminli to the first division is absurd.

Naturally, some works should be considered as orders of the regime because they expressed the political and ideological content of that soviet period in the limit of the socialist realism. The authors of these works adherering to the marxist position tried to determine “the correct influence” of the revolution on the people, its worldwide importance and they thought that they could express artistic history, desires and wishes of the people in this way.
