By defining literature as propaganda and, for the first time in Soviet history, actually trying writers for "political crimes" on the basis of what they had written, the judges outdid Stalin. As Sinyavsky aptly says in his essay On Socialist Realism: "So that prisons should vanish forever, we built new prisons...
