The Zhdanov Doctrine (also called zhdanovism or zhdanovshchina, Russian: доктрина Жданова, ждановизм, ждановщина ) was a Soviet cultural doctrine developed by Central Committee secretary Andrei Zhdanov in 1946.
 It proposed that the world was divided into two camps: the "imperialistic", headed by the United States; and "democratic", headed by the Soviet Union.
 The main principle of the Zhdanov doctrine was often summarized by the phrase "The only conflict that is possible in Soviet culture is the conflict between good and best".
 Zhdanovism soon became a Soviet cultural policy, meaning that Soviet artists, writers and intelligentsia in general had to conform to the party line in their creative works.
 Under this policy, artists who failed to comply with the government's wishes risked persecution.
 The policy remained in effect until the death of Joseph Stalin in 1953.

 In 1924 his position as Trotsky's deputy was taken over by Grigory Zinoviev's ally Mikhail Frunze.
 Instead, he was made chairman of the Mossukno state textile trust, and the following May he left on a tour of Germany, France, and the United States to acquire technical information.
 On August 27, 1925 he died in a boating accident on Long Lake (New York) along with , the first head of Amtorg Trading Corporation.
