Abstract

The article examines the active activities of cultural and educational institutions of the Izmail region of the Ukrainian SSR in the postwar period. The processes of Sovietization, which were characteristic of the period of late Stalinism and aimed at constructing a Soviet identity, creating a «new Soviet man» and the formation of the government «official Soviet leisure», which began to displace traditional forms of family leisure. Government institutions, namely, houses of folk art, houses of culture, clubs, libraries and museums became the center of cultural and educational life of the population, which was an integral part of everyday life. Despite the difficult conditions of postwar reconstruction, cultural and educational institutions actively carried out political and cultural and educational work among the population, especially during the implementation of important economic and political (spring sowing, autumn sowing, weeding and care of crops, harvesting and grain delivery state), political campaigns. In particular, cultural and educational work during the harvest was aimed at helping the party and Soviet authorities to mobilize collective farmers and peasants to fulfill and exceed the norms. Emphasis is placed on the excessive and widespread ideologization of cultural and educational work, which was a tool for creating a «new Soviet man» and solving important economic and political campaigns. All cultural and educational work was carried out under the direct guidance and control of party organizations. The result of this policy of the Soviet government was that in the family of ordinary citizens, elements of Soviet culture began to actively permeate their daily lives.
