Abstract
Factory clubs became the main instrument of official cultural policy after the Second World War. They were supposed to provide employees with opportunities for cultural activities, they served as a space where various cultural and sports clubs could be organized, films were shown, and libraries were active.
At the same time, they were supposed to educate employees in the spirit of socialism. Ideological action, however, met with disinterest.
In the 1960s, factory clubs became a place where important theater and music ensembles were created. The article describes the development of factory clubs and efforts to manage them.
