The exhibition “15 Years of Artists of the RSFSR” (1933-1934) was a crucial moment in the process of establishing socialist realism by the Soviet government. In the second installment of the show, in Moscow, the works of the artists considered "formalists", such as Kazimir Malevich, Aleksandr Drevin and Nadezhda Udal'tsova, were exposed in a defamatory manner and were violently attacked by the press. What devices have been mobilized to produce such persecution? Why expose and defame the referred artists?
