The plays in the era of Soviet Union had the main direction of socialist realism and the only purpose of criticizing the Western world, praising the communist leaders and Russian traditions and encouraging the communist education and production to the audience. However, in the 1960s, theaters and plays also started to make some human beings individualized from the entire concept and image, their psychological development, ethical formation, economic issues during the process of industrialization and so on the main themes. The works of Koryosaram writers who had no choice but to follow the trend of literature of the times also seem to reflect the appearances of Koryosaram as citizens of Soviet Union. In view of the works published in in the 1960s and the 1970s and the plays of Koryosaram writers in Central Asia published in personal collections, the following three characteristics are revealed. First, though they show themselves to have been sovietized, it could be known that the passionate attitude towards education on the other side appears as a characteristic of only Koryosaram. Second, as the works criticizing the negative aspects of capitalism are the mainstream, almost no national emotions or identity as Koryosaram writers are shown in these works. Third, the appearances of Koryosaram working in kolkhoz are depicted much. It can be known that Koryosaram who were abandoned in the Central Asia showed an amazing outcome in kolkhoz in order to survive and to be acknowledged in the foreign countries. The plays in the era of Soviet Union had a great burden to convey the ideas of socialism to the general public. It can be seen that the plays of Koryosaram in the 1960s through the 1980s also almost removed the national and traditional emotions and sufficiently completed their role as the literature of socialist realism.
