Fedor Gladkov (1883 - 1958) was a socialist-realist writer, secretary of the journal "Novy Mir," and Director of the Maxim Gorky Literature Institute. His first major novel and his best-known work - originally published in 1925 - the "Cement" would arguably become the first in socrealist literature, and its literary standard of the 1930s, to describe the hardships of the post-Revolutionary reconstruction of the Soviet Union.
