Sanin
The hero of the novel Vladimir Sanin lived for a long time outside the family, which is probably why he easily mastered the threads of all collisions that he noticed in his home and in a familiar city. Sister Sanina, the beautiful Lida, “a delicate and charming tangle of elegant tenderness and dexterous power,” is fond of a completely unworthy of her officer Zarudin. Some time they even meet for mutual pleasure with the slight difference that after the meetings Zarudin has a good good mood, and Lida has longing and indignation at herself. Pregnant women, she rightly calls him “cattle”. Lida did not expect a proposal from him, but he does not find the words to calm the girl, for whom he became the first man, and she has a desire to commit suicide. From a thoughtless step, her brother rescues her: “It’s not worth dying… Look how good… Look how the sun shines, as the water flows. Imagine that after your death

they will find out that you died pregnant: what do you care for… That means that you are not dying because you are pregnant, but because you are afraid of people, you are afraid that they will not let you live. The whole horror of your misfortune is not that it is a misfortune, but that you put it between yourself and life and think that there is nothing for him anymore. In fact, life remains as it was… “The eloquent Sanin manages to convince young, but timid Novikov, who is in love with Lida, to marry her. He asks for his forgiveness (for it was only” spring flirting “) and advises, not thinking about self-sacrifice, to surrender to the end of his passion: “You are radiant face, and everyone will say that you are a saint, and lose exactly nothing lost, Lida has the same hands, the same feet, the same passion, the same life. .. It’s nice to enjoy,
But then it turns out that the officer Zarudin knows remorse. He is in a house where he was always well received, but this time he was nearly kicked out of the door and screamed after him not to return. Zarudin feels insulted
and decides to call Sanin’s “chief offender” to a duel, but he categorically refuses to shoot (“I do not want to kill anyone and I do not want to be killed any more”). Having met in the city on the boulevard, they once again find out the relationship, and Sanin puts Zarudin in one blow of the fist. A public insult and a clear understanding that no one sympathizes with him makes a dapper officer shoot himself in the temple.
In parallel to Lida’s love story in a quiet patriarchal city, the novel of a young revolutionary Yuri Svarozhich and a young teacher Zina Karsavina is developing. To his shame, he suddenly realizes that he loves a woman not completely, that he can not give himself up to a mighty impulse of passion. To master a woman, to be amused and to throw it, he can not, but he too can not marry, because he is afraid of philistine happiness with his wife, children and economy. Instead of breaking with Zina, he ends up with himself. Before his death, he studies Ecclesiastes, and “clear death causes in his soul boundless heavy anger.”
Sanin, succumbing to Zina’s charm of beauty and a summer night, is explained to her in love. As a woman, she is happy, but she is tormented by remorse for lost “pure love.” She does not know the true reason for Svarozhic’s suicide, she is not convinced by Sanin’s words: “Man is a harmonious combination of body and spirit, until it is broken.” Naturally, it is violated only by the approach of death, but we ourselves destroy it with an ugly worldview… We branded bodies became ashamed of them, clothed in a humiliating form and created a one-sided existence… Those of us who are weak in substance do not notice this and drag life in chains, but those that are weak only because of the false view of life that linked them and themselves they are martyrs: the crumpled strength is broken, the body asks for joy and tormenting them themselves All their lives they wander among the bifurcations,
Sanin’s daring thoughts frighten the local intelligentsia, teachers, doctors, students and officers, especially when Vladimir says that Svarozhich “lived silly, tormented himself over trifles and died a stupid death.” His thoughts of a “new man” or even a superman are poured throughout the book, in all dialogues, in conversations with his sister, mother, numerous characters. He is angered by Christianity in the form that was revealed to a man of the beginning of the 20th century. “In my opinion, Christianity played a sad role in life… At a time when humanity was already quite unbearable and it was not enough for everyone that all the humiliated and destitute took up their wits and in one blow overthrew the impossible and unfair order of things, simply destroying everything that lived with other people’s blood, just at that time there was a quiet, humbly wise, promising Christianity. It condemned the struggle, promised inner bliss, inspired a sweet dream, gave the religion of non-resistance to evil by violence and, in short, let out steam! .. To a human person, too indomitable to become a slave, put Christianity on the penitential mantle and concealed underneath all the colors of the human spirit… It deceived the powerful, who could now, in today’s hands, take their luck in the hands, and the center of gravity of their lives moved to the future, to the dream of the nonexistent, that none of them will see… “Sanin – Nietzschean-Dionysian revolutionary – The author of the book has drawn the book as a very attractive and attractive person. For the modern rumor he is neither cynical nor rude, but the Russian province, a stagnant swamp of stagnancy and idealism, rejects it. gave a religion of non-resistance to evil with violence and, in short, let out steam! ..
