Objective: to review the history through the lens of artistic images, literary works and other art forms are also important - it is one of the methods of Soviet everyday life. Given the specificity of the socio-political approach to the literature, we in the study of Soviet everyday life 1950-ies has identified two works written during the period and which are one of the many examples of reflection Soviet reality – these are the dramas: Zorin "Guests" and "Good luck!"
