Summary/Abstract: This article is dedicated to a little-studied problem in historiography: the activities of provincial creative intelligentsia during the period when the government administration system had been formed and, in particular, the practice of social adaptation. Given the nationalization of all aspects of the Soviet society, becoming government employees, namely the incorporation into the Art Unions of the USSR, was a real opportunity for litterateurs to achieve material prosperity. On the example of Chelyabinsk the authors demonstrate the strategies of incorporation into the Union of Soviet Writers and the difficulties they faced in their struggle for the status of a professional writer in the 1930s.
