Annotation: The article describes the strengthening of writer's interest in the common, ordinary person, in the Soviet deteriorations and hardships of the post-war period. The text focuses on the emergence of a critical line in the literary work of the writers of the Russian North – a territory where peasant mental ties and spiritual bonds were especially strong. The article considers the ideological discussions regarding the published acutely social component of the press – the stories “Vologda Weddingˮ by Alexander Yashin and “Round and aroundˮ by Fyodor Abramov. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that it shows the political and ideological mechanisms of influence on the authority of a writer. Special attention is paid to the period of the 1960s, associated with the cardinal social transformation of rural life, the breakdown of its traditional way of life, the commodification of labour relations, the change in economic guidelines and the modification of peasant values. The researcher comes to the conclusion that the irreconcilability of writers to the deformations of socio-economic development and the problems of the life of the rural society, including the restructuring and breaking of family institutions, property, the role of custom in peasant life, played an important role in the ideological ideas of the public, being a kind of protest, an appeal to action.
