While preceding studies have identified Sergei Tret'iakov's 'literature of fact' and 'operativity' as separate concepts located at different points of his theory's history of development, this thesis proposes 'expediency(целесообразность)' as a keyword that can unite multiple concepts of his theory. Tret'iakov made the following demand: all social actions (including production and consumption) must be engaged in the purpose of promoting social production. Under the relationship with the Productivist group, this purpose was in line with their most important slogan("Into production!"), and historically, it was a well-timed idea during Soviet Russia's reconstruction period, promoted by First Five Year Plan(1928-1932). Considering the significance of expediency, Tret'iakov's various themes on the literary production gained a certain consistency enough to be regarded as a single and precise project.
Following this line of thought, the existence of the mass audience that has not received much attention in preceding studies so far acquires great importance. The mass audience, who had been forced to be away from the authority to create literature and to limit their literacy to a narrow sense of reading without having, is given a new role by Tret'iakov as a 'fixator of facts.' What they fixed was the reality of the production that traditional authors could not see, and was a de-materialized 'information product' that greatly promoted further production. Even so, under the historical condition of the newly introduced media society in the 1920s, the information product could not exert its power unless it is distributed and used among the audience. In other words, to promote production, information products must be used by the mass audience, and as a result, the audience(just as they are the subjects who produce and consume the products) plays a dual role as producers and users of information products.
This thesis attempts to present the above-described projects as Tret'iakov's 'General Production Process' that consists of producing information products, using them, putting them into feedback loops and doing so promoting further material production. In this process, not only the traditional distinction between literary producers and consumers but also the production and consumption of material/de-materialized products are integrated into homogeneous factors of production.
