    Summary
    The question of tradition and innovation is one of the key problems of Marxist-Leninist aesthetics. It permeates all aspects of our art from the past and the present, and its correct scientific resolution supports its future achievements. The reports presented examined the issues of tradition and innovation in depth and in many ways, both theoretically and historically. The speeches developed many aspects of the problem. However, we cannot help but point out that the way in which the discussion was organized and carried out could not sufficiently create the necessary prerequisites for the development of a creative exchange of opinions. The reports were presented only on the eve of the discussion, and there was no opportunity to prepare speeches on the specific questions raised in them. Nevertheless, with their speeches, the comrades touched upon a significant number of new aspects of the problem and of literature, especially contemporary literature, thereby contributing to the further development of the ideas addressed in the reports.
