Kultura i zhizn (Russian: Культура и жизнь, lit.'Culture and Life') was a cultural magazine which was published in the period 1946–1951 in Moscow, Soviet Union. It was one of the publications of the Central Committee of the Communist Party.

History and profile

Kultura i zhizn was first published on 28 June 1946.

Soviet literature and art must produce works full of passion and deep thought, shot through with ideas of Soviet patriotism."[4]

Kultura i zhizn was launched as a biweekly publication,[4] but later it was published three times per month.[1] Its headquarters was in Moscow.[1] The founding editor-in-chief of Kultura i zhizn was Andrei Zhdanov who was succeeded by his deputy editor P. A. Satyukov.[5] Lev Kopelev was among its contributors.[6] The magazine frequently reported the activities of the Academy of Social Sciences [az; bg] which was also established by the Central Committee in 1946.[7] In 1949 it criticized theater critics arguing that they were just snobs with bourgeois opinions on literature and art.[8] This attack was part of the negative attitudes of the Soviet authorities towards cosmopolites.[8]

The last issue of Kultura i zhizn appeared on 28 February 1951.[1]
