Follow the recent President of Poland crash events,'Katyn massacre' has become a hot topic recently. This is directly related to Stalin. In recent years begun to see a voice that calls for the reassessment of Stalin's contribution. Why this phenomenon occurs is worth to think. We all know that in the Soviet Union history, Stalin period is undoubtedly a very important stage, and the mainstream literature of this period is the brand name of a particular era, the first half stage of the Soviet literature, The mainstream literature is the literature of proletarian revolution and socialist literature. It is a new type of literature, closely linked with political struggle.1930s, represented the Soviet Union literature, there has been the prosperity of the world proletarian literature, they have distinctive proletarian characteristics and communist party characteristics. Such literature has the revolutionary heroism, revolutionary collectivism and revolutionary spirit of optimism, become the powerful weapon of encouraging and educating people. However, after the death of Stalin, Khrushchev came to power, Literature follow the political swing, set off a re-examination of all the past ideas, began criticism the " whitewash reality" work and re-submit writers to "write the reality." By the time of Gorbachev came to power, this trend reaching the climax.For the work of of Stalin Period, People hold different views. First of all, we should see the times of the work, the realistic situation of the era of the Soviet Union. As Novoanninsky said, "How the Steel Was Tempered" these works demonstrated a "new reality" to the younger generation. it may give up to reflect some reality issues at the time of that political climate. However, after all, it's the thought which is a person with all its enthusiasm for how to actualizing the value of life. It tells people that there was a time, freedom need to sacrifice our life. When today's younger generation enjoying the pleasure of consumption, whether they need the kind of experience similar to Paul? The answer is definite. A few years ago the TV series "How the Steel Was Tempered" hit off a big controversy, This article attempts to through two works "How the Steel Was Tempered" and the "Young Guard", to elucidate the significance and value of mainstream works for today's society. It can be thought of, "Red Classics" perhaps can develop the new territory in the new era of lack spirits, and thus rebuild its dominant position of grand narrative. Of course, it associated with the boredom of the Personal narrative of popular culture. After all, Russian literature has a long tradition of heroism and collectivism, which is like an undercurrent, though temporarily been obscured for various reasons, it always persistent show its unyielding force on such way or another way. This year is the 65th anniversary of victory in the war against fascism, "Stalin," has become a hot topic, many Russians are beginning to re-evaluate Stalin's merits and demerits. Re-understanding of Stalin, to the majority of Russian people, is the inevitable process of re-understanding of history. This phenomenon does not mean that Stalin "rehabilitated" or go back to the path of Stalin, to the Russians, who experienced the turbulent period after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, This attitude of respect for history is an advance of historical progress. We are digging out the essence from this phenomenon in, then contact the mainstream work of Stalin to re-examine. Since 1991, the date of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union of literature has become the history. The reflection on the history of Chinese academic circles over the past decade has also become a topic of concern. This is not surprising. First, the history of Soviet literature as the Review and Consideration of the entire Soviet Union is bound to become an integral part of reflection; In addition, given the history of contemporary Chinese literature by the great impact of Soviet literature, which naturally reflect and look at contemporary China an expression of literary self-reflection.The t first chapter in the mainstream of literary works from the October Revolution from the beginning and passionate idealism to Stalin after the death of the "total repudiation of Stalin," the historical context, the mainstream literature began to burn after the reflection, until the Soviet Union as the political climate of the late and social emotional changes, the status of the mainstream work has changed. Mainstream works by analyzing the Stalin period gains and losses, triggering re-examine the meaning.The second chapter specific analysis the positive significance of the mainstream writers and their works, mainly elaborate the work analysis from Russia and China at that time and the present, such as "How the Steel Was Tempered", "Young Guard", "Iron Flow", "Trafalgar and Shura". The book "How the Steel Was Tempered" has aroused fierce controversy in China, somebody completely negative it, I believe that these arguments should be viewed objectively.The third chapter discusses although the main theme of socialist realism socialist literature for the positive aspects, but the mainstream literature in China and the history of Russian literature there has always been critically sound, from the perspective of the two countries was critical mainstream literature works.The forth chapter describes the meaning of re-examining these major works on the Stalin period. 20th Century Russian Literature gone through a tortuous path, it has created a brilliant achievement, deeply impact the world's literature. At the same time it encountered setbacks, many lessons can be learned. How comprehensive evaluating its right perspective and the problem has been attracting people's attention.
