Parks of culture and recreation of the 1920s and 1930s in the political and artistic space of the Soviet era

The article shows that since the first years of Soviet power in our country, new forms of mass work have been developed, one of which is the creation of institutions where political and educational work is combined with cultural and ideological work. Parks of culture and recreation, created in the 1920s and 1930s in the USSR, belonged to this type. Visual artifacts placed in the politicized context of the epoch (parks of culture and recreation, works of art, etc.) contributed to the emergence of a specific symbolic image, a "visual lexicon". The article notes that the main purpose of the propaganda carried out by the government is the formation of individuals not only of a single Soviet people, a "collective person", but also a "collective author". In conclusion, it is concluded that the formation of the idea of a culture and recreation park in the Soviet culture of the 1920s 1930s is marked by its rootedness in the tradition of national culture, soil, and is also directly related to the concept of a garden city that arose in domestic urban planning practice in the early ХХ century.
