"RLF". Fighter for party literature

Issue 153 of "RLF" opens with a cartoon by Alexander Zhendov "The Path of Above-Class Art". The cartoon depicts an armchair on which Al. Tsankov is sitting with a bloody axe in his relaxed hand. An artist is crouching next to him, licking the bloodsucker's shoes with the tip of his tongue. This is the entire content of the cartoon. I don't know why, but this cartoon seems to me very characteristic of "RLF" - both with its definite attitude towards bourgeois writers, and with its hatred and sarcasm towards those who hide their cowardly desertion behind noisy and lush abstract-noble phraseology. This caricature also speaks of an artistic consciousness that judges the depicted fact as something foreign, from the other, "other" world, is proud of its assessment, of its ability to deny the servility, the pitiful conformism, the servility of the bourgeois priests of art.
