In the following paper the author presents Hans Werner Richter’s sociopolitical journalism before the formation of Gruppe 47. The author concentrates on the newspaper Ruf that was published from 1946 to 1947. In this paper the presentation of the political and literary profile is based on a few examples as well as the presentation of particular Richter’s articles. On the one hand the author analyses the subject matter of these articles, on the other the argumentation methods. The remarkable idea of this sociopolitical journalism is the postulate of the pragmatic synthesis between socialism and democracy. It should lead to new Europe after World War II era.
