It is unlikely that there will be another theoretical question that is met with as much distrust as the question of beauty and the aesthetic. The difficulties of aesthetics in its development serve as the main argument of those who do not want science to interfere in the area of ​​the beautiful and aesthetic evaluations. For the beautiful, the exquisite and the artistic "there can be no science, only criticism" - this statement of Kant has been repeated on a variety of occasions and in the most diverse variants to this day. I do not want to say that everyone who doubts the possibilities of the theory of the aesthetic is necessarily a Kantian. But the fact is that distrust of aesthetics is mainly shown by those who dispute the objectivity of beauty, the aesthetic and the artistic.

October 1917! The volleys of the "Aurora" heralded the coming of a new world. Landowner Russia, Russia of material poverty, reaction and suffering, was buried forever, so that the first socialist state could be born. The country of the Soviets, which was the first to dare to reject the wolfish laws of bourgeois society, became the pillar of hope for all toiling humanity. For decades now, the capital of the mighty Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Moscow, has been the gaze of all people who yearn for justice, peace and happiness. The first Soviet state, which took on the historical task of putting into practice the great ideas of Marxism-Leninism, was destined to go through many trials in order to chart the paths that lead to a world without plunderers and oppressors, a world of social justice, human happiness and spiritual beauty. And October 1961! The world followed with particular interest what was happening in white-stone Moscow. Here the tried and enthusiastic warriors of the party of the immortal Lenin, the mind and conscience of the heroic Soviet peoples, had gathered to evaluate the path traveled and, having learned from the past, to outline the tasks of the present and the future. At their XXII Congress they had to fulfill a historical mission - to discuss and approve the magnificent program for building a communist society - the society that the brightest minds of humanity had dreamed of. It is difficult for one to assess the entire historical significance of everything that was done in those October days to pave the way to the future, for the triumph of humanism and internationalism, of material prosperity and moral beauty. A new stage had begun not only in the development of the Soviet peoples, but also of the entire communist movement, in the life of all working humanity. In the remarkable reports of N. S. Khrushchev, in the wise and frank statements of the delegates revealed the enormous successes achieved since the 20th Congress, when the cult of personality was condemned, Leninist norms of party life were restored. With rare principle, with scientific depth and perspective, the issues of the theory and practice of the party were analyzed, the problems of our time were considered.
