There are writers who play a major role in public and literary life, but remain alien to the "noisy fame". Their activity resembles those deep water currents that change the climate, enable flowers and trees to grow in distant northern countries, while they themselves are inconspicuous, invisible, unknown. Such a creator in our communist anti-fascist literature is Nikolay Khrelkov. His charm as a person and a poet, his role as a communist-teacher are perfectly understood by those who had the opportunity to be in personal contact with the writer, to be friends with him, to experience his beneficial influence. "Visiting Khrelkov - shared the heroine of the RMS Lilyana Dimitrova - is a holiday for me. He seems to be a person from another world." Many writers such as Goncho Belev, Lyudmil Stoyanov, etc. To a large extent, they grew up as socialist realist artists, taking the decisive step from the general democratic anti-fascist positions to the positions of Marxism-Leninism thanks to the personal friendship and the influence that Nikolay Khrelkov had on them.

The great humanist artists always stand close to the progressive ideas of their era. In our time, many of them reach socialism. And they reach it on their own path, through the internal logic of their development; the humanistic power of their talent brings them to the achievement of revolutionary justice. Emilian Stanev appeared in the 1930s. In all his works from those years there is a reflection on the fate of man. In them one can see not only the animalist artist - the subtle connoisseur and painter of nature and animals. These works tell us about the inequality between people, about the wolfish laws of bourgeois society. They are imbued with a deep sadness for the beautiful in man. But the social views of that time and the humanism of the writer did not allow him to see the real perspective of historical development, he could only express his abstract dream of a better order of the world. Later, Stanev began to see in the revolutionary changes in his country those real conditions that create an opportunity for true emancipation of the human personality. The writer was in a dispute - not a speculative-abstract, but a deeply creative one - with various modernist concepts that isolate man from society. The ideological and artistic evolution that took place in him tangibly and concretely gives answers to the great problems of the century - about the true stimuli of artistic progress, about humanism. The gradual discovery of the new world, the developing revolutionary worldview of Stanev significantly moved his artistic horizons, he saw in the revolution the realization of higher humanistic ideals.
