“The writers Boris Pasternak and Korney Chukovsky attend the First Inaugural Soviet Writer’s Congress. Established two years prior, the Writer’s Union abolished all independent literary organizations in the USSR. It also granted the two writers neighboring homes in the town of Peredelniko where Pasternak wrote Doctor Zhivago.” quoted from source
