The Thaw Law, also known as the "Thaw Act," refers to legislation enacted in 1947 in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin's regime, aimed at easing strict censorship and repression in the arts and culture following World War II. Named after the period of relative liberalization known as the "Khrushchev Thaw," it allowed for more artistic freedom and expression, fostering a more open cultural environment. However, this liberalization was temporary, as subsequent political repression and censorship were reinstated later in the 1950s and 1960s. The Thaw Law is significant for its impact on Soviet literature, film, and other forms of artistic expression.
