Civil war composition
The beginning of the 20th century was a time of terrible shocks for Russia. For some twenty years there were three revolutions, the country was dragged into the First World War! Twenty years is an infinitesimal time for history, but the events of this time radically changed our country. And the most severe test of this twentieth century was the Civil War.
The twenties of this century were the time of the appearance of new literature, connected primarily with the names of Fadeev, Furmanov, Babel, Sholokhov. They write about specific historical events, in which they themselves often took direct part. So, for example, Isaak Babel fought in the ranks of the First Cavalry Army of Budyonny, and his later collected collection of stories devoted to the Civil War was called “Cavalry.” For literature of this time the main was the problem of man and revolution, a man in the fire of the Civil War.
Civil war disunited people, lay the gap between them. It often happened that
For writers of the time, the theme of the intelligentsia and the revolution is also important, and although different writers treated it differently, almost everyone addressed this topic in their work. In Fadeyev’s novel The Defeat, we get acquainted with a young Red Army soldier, Metchik, a representative of the intelligentsia. His image is causing us a negative attitude. Dreamy by nature, timid, Metchik loses in comparison with the strong, brave partisan Frost. Fadeyev writes that Morozka “always felt between himself and these people (Mechik means) an impenetrable wall from the falsely beautiful words and deeds that they had dragged from them, from nowhere.” Fadeev portrays Metchik as a traveling companion, far from the interests of the revolution. Bulgakov, on the contrary, considers the intelligentsia to be the moral pillar of the Russian people, the bearer of centuries-old traditions and culture. This he shows in the example of the Turbins’ family in the play “Days of the Turbins”. In the eyes of Bulgakov, the final disintegration of the “noble nests” is taking place, and this can not but arouse his protest. Turbines are not only related bonds, but also spiritually close to each other. No wonder Lariosik says that behind the cream curtains of their house are all the horrors of the war. However, war breaks into this quiet, cozy house: Helen’s husband leaves, Aleksey dies, his younger brother is seriously wounded. The family is part of society, and the disintegration of the Turbin family speaks of the crisis of the whole society. that behind the cream curtains of their house are all the horrors of the war.

In the story of Gedali, written by I. Babel, the main character is perplexed: “Revolution is a good thing for good people, but good people do not kill.” So the revolution is done by evil people. ” The revolution that was made for the sake of man, in fact, turned out to be directed against him. The people of one country were divided into two opposing camps. Pasternak in Doctor Zhivago describes the case when Yury Andreevich, examining the wounded, finds on the chest of the red telegraph operator and a white soldier the same sixtieth psalm. This proves that the most terrible thing in the lives of people is that they are compelled to fight against their own compatriots, people who are no different from themselves.
