In 1920-1930 there were issued some decrees by the Soviet government dealing
with socio-political processes of society and the class struggle, those who opposed
these decisions were immediately blamed as “internal enemies”. Among the peple
who were called “internal enemies” were secret, conscious provocateurs and people
who were waiting for the collapse of the Soviet regime. The interests of this group in
society were fundamentally opposed to the official "party line”. Representatives of
the abolished exploiting classes, those who were oppressed during the seizure of the
property were punished with administrative resources if they did not agree with the
decisions of the government. Although many plays written during this period (S.S
Akhundov's "Love and Revenge" (1922), A. Hagverdiyev's "Old generation" (1927),
etc.) described the events of the past, they also reflected the events of the new era.
All these processes were reflected in the literature. In the literary works of that
period, the public life of Azerbaijan was shown with all its contradictions and
complexity. The works written in the 1920s were indeed filled with a schematic form

of description of the events and characters but along with this, the authors described
social events of the time, the contradictions and the changes in the process of
building a new society. Most parts of these works were created for propaganda
purposes; here the positive heroes represented a new era and the negative heroes
represented old times. Nevertheless, the positive heroes were always one-sided and
schematic, while the negative heroes were more lively and attractive. For a long
period, it was used as a one-sided approach in literary criticism characterizing the
images of the internal enemy as negative and the personages opposite to them as
positive.
