Hans Leberecht (1. XII \/ 18. XI 1910 \u2013 10. XI 1960) was an Estonian author who diligently followed the guidelines of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and socialist realism in his works. Although he wrote in Russian, political forces shaped him into an indicator of the direction of Estonian literature in the Stalin era on the basis of his novel Valgus Koordis<\/em> (\u2018Light in Koordi\u2019) and established him as an author.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hans Leberecht was born in St. Petersburg into an Estonian working-class family. He spent his childhood at his grandmother\u2019s home in the village of Koordi in J\u00e4rvamaa county. After leaving secondary school Leberecht went to work in an electrical machinery works in Leningrad, where he also took part in literary activities. In 1934 he attended the first Soviet writers\u2019 congress, where the principles of socialist realism were elucidated. His first stories started to appear in journals in the thirties. One of them \u2013 Igavene v\u00e4rv<\/em> (\u2018Eternal Colour\u2019) \u2013 won second prize in an all-Union story competition. In 1935 Leberecht went to study at the Maxim Gorky Literature Institute, from which he was expelled a couple of years later because of persecution of his father. Until the war Leberecht worked as a picture restorer. In the Second World War he mainly served in the Estonian Rifle Corps and wrote dispatches from the front for the divisional paper. In 1944 he joined the Communist Party. After the war Leberecht settled in Tallinn, where he wrote sketches as a special correspondent for the newspaper Sovetskaya Estoniya<\/em>. Following the recognition he received for Valgus Koordis<\/em> he became a freelance author.<\/p>\n

The novel Valgus Koordis<\/em>, which first appeared in the Leningrad newspaper Zvezda<\/em> in 1948, is one of the earliest works to deal with the subject of the establishment of the kolkhoz, or collective farm, in the Estonian SSR. The story was also hurriedly translated into Estonian in 1949. The appearance of the novel was accompanied by a scandal: the manuscript was at first ignored in a novel competition, but because it was said to have made an impression on Stalin himself, it was decided to create a new jury to declare it the winner. This was followed by Stalin\u2019s\u00a0 prize (class III), a rapturous reception, and translation into 23 languages. The story was the basis of the first Estonian colour feature film (1951) and an opera (1955).<\/p>\n

Leberecht\u2019s other works, too, are largely based on the conflict between support of Soviet power as new and positive, and opposition to Soviet power as old and negative. In his story Teel<\/em> (\u2018On the Road\u2019, 1951), the confrontation develops against the background of swamp drainage, which, as a part of the reshaping of nature, was a favoured aspect of the programme of socialist realism. With the novel Kaptenid<\/em> (\u2018The Captains\u2019, 1955, in Estonian 1956) the conflict is set in an industrial environment, at a gas works. A film, Andruse \u00f5nn<\/em> (\u2018Andrus\u2019 Luck\u2019, 1955) was based on the novel. In the novel S\u00f5durid l\u00e4hevad koju<\/em> (\u2018The Soldiers Go Home\u2019) Leberecht deals with the confrontation between the new and the old in the context of the Second World War, concentrating on a depiction of the Estonian Rifle Corps. The conflict is developed from the assertion that the war shaped and affirmed Estonians\u2019 revulsion at Fascism and their belief in Communism and Soviet power. In the story \u00dches majas<\/em> (\u2018In One House\u2019, 1957, in Estonian 1958) two kolkhoz managers confront one another \u2013 a positive and reform-minded one and an egotist who is hungry for power. On the basis of the story a film, \u00dche katuse all<\/em> (\u2018Under One Roof\u2019), was made in 1962. The novel Vassarite palee<\/em> (\u2018The Vassars\u2019 Palace\u2019, 1960) tells the story of one Estonian family in St. Petersburg during the First World War and the revolutions that followed it. The largely autobiographical novel is considered artistically the most noteworthy of Leberecht\u2019s works because of its convincing and generalizing depiction of the conditions. The short stories Leberecht wrote in the fifties are compiled in the collection Pronkss\u00f5rmus<\/em> (\u2018The Bronze Ring\u2019, 1961).<\/p>\n
