It examines the role of the People's Commissariat for Education and Culture, led by notable Marxist Gyorgy Lukacs, and poses critical questions about the initial enthusiasm and subsequent disillusionment of these cultural figures. This work sheds light on the complex interplay between art and politics during a pivotal moment in Hungarian history.
