Theme of the Great Patriotic War

The theme of the Great Patriotic War became for many years one of the main themes of the literature of the 20th century. There are many reasons for this. This is the enduring awareness of those irreplaceable losses that the war brought, and the sharpness of moral conflicts that are possible only in an extreme situation (and the events of the war are just such events), and the fact that any truthful word about modernity was expelled from Soviet literature for a long time. the theme of the war sometimes remained the only island of authenticity in a stream of far-fetched, false prose, where all conflicts, according to the instructions "from above", were supposed to reflect the struggle between the good and the best. But the truth about the war did not come easily, something prevented her from telling it to the end.

Today it is clear that it is impossible to understand the events of those years, human characters, if you do not take into account that 1941 was preceded by the terrible year 1929 of the "great turning point", when the liquidation of the "kulaks as a class" did not notice how all the best in the peasantry was liquidated, and 1937 year.

One of the first attempts to tell the truth about the war was the story of the writer V. Bykov "The Sign of Trouble". This story became a milestone in the work of the Belarusian writer. It was preceded by his works about the war, which have already become classics of literature of the 20th century: "Obelisk", "Sotnikov", "Survive Until Dawn" and others. After "The Sign of Trouble", the writer's work takes on a new breath, deepens into historicism, primarily in such works as "In the Fog", "Round".

In the center of the story "The Sign of Trouble" is a man at war. A person does not always go to war, she herself sometimes comes to his house, as happened with two Belarusian old men, peasants Stepanida and Petrak Bogatko. The farm where they live is occupied. The policemen come to the estate, followed by the Germans. They are not shown by V. Bykov as deliberately atrocious, they just come to someone else's house and settle down there as masters, following the idea of their Fuhrer that anyone who is not an Aryan, not a person, in his house can cause complete ruin, and the inhabitants of the house can be perceived like work animals. And that is why it is so unexpected for them that Stepanida is not ready to obey them implicitly. Do not allow yourself to be humiliated - this is the source of the resistance of this middle-aged woman in such dramatic situation. Stepanida is a strong character. Human dignity is the main thing that drives her actions. "For my hard life she nevertheless learned the truth and bit by bit gained her human dignity. And the one who once felt like a man will never become a beast," V. Bykov writes about his heroine. At the same time, the writer does not just draw this character for us, he reflects on its origins. It is necessary to think about the meaning of the title of the story "The Sign of Trouble ". This is a quote from a poem by A. Tvardovsky, written in 1945: "Before the war, as if as a sign of trouble ..." What was happening even before the war in the countryside became that "sign of trouble" that V. Bykov.

Stepanida Bogatko, who "for six years, not sparing herself, toiled herself in laborers," believed in new life, one of the first to enroll in the collective farm, it is not for nothing that they call her a rural activist. But soon she realized that there was no truth that she was looking for and waiting for in this new life. When they demand new dispossession, fearing suspicion of pandering to the class enemy, it is she, Stepanida, who throws angry words at an unfamiliar man in a black leather jacket: "But justice is not needed? You smart people, don't you see what is being done?" More than once Stepanida tries to intervene in the course of the case, intercede for Levon, who was arrested on a false denunciation, send Petrok to Minsk with a petition to the CEC chairman himself. And every time her resistance to untruth stumbles upon a blank wall. Unable to change the situation alone, Stepanida finds an opportunity to save herself, her inner sense of justice, to move away from what is happening around: "Do what you want. But without me." In the pre-war years, the source of Stepanida's character, and not in the fact that she was a collective farmer activist, but in the fact that she managed not to succumb to the general rapture of deceit, words about a new life, fear, she managed to follow herself, her innate sense of truth and save the human element in itself. And during the war years, it determined her behavior. At the end of the story, Stepanida dies, but dies, not resigned to fate, resisting it to the last. One of the critics remarked ironically that "the damage inflicted by Stepanida on the enemy's army was great." Yes, the visible material damage is not great. But something else is infinitely important: Stepanida, by her death, proves that she is a person, and not a working animal that can be subdued, humiliated, forced to obey. In resistance to violence, that strength of character of the heroine is manifested, which, as it were, refutes death, shows the reader how much a person can, even if he is alone, even if he is in a hopeless situation.

Next to Stepanvda, Petrok is shown as a character, if not opposite to her, then, in any case, completely different, not active, but rather timid and peaceful, ready to compromise.

Petrok's endless patience is based on a deep conviction that it is possible to speak kindly to people. And only at the end of the story this peaceful man, having exhausted all his patience, decides to protest, openly fight back. Violence spurred him to rebelliousness. Such depths of the soul are revealed by an unusual, extreme situation in this person. The folk tragedy shown in V. Bykov's story "The Sign of Trouble" reveals the origins of true human characters.

Introduction

The Great Patriotic War has long died down. Generations have already grown up who know about it from the stories of veterans, books, and films. The pain of loss subsided over the years, the wounds healed. It has long been rebuilt, restored destroyed by the war. But why did our writers and poets turn and turn to those ancient days? Maybe the memory of the heart haunts them...

The war still lives in the memory of our people, and not only in fiction. military theme raises fundamental questions of human existence. The main hero of military prose is an ordinary participant in the war, its inconspicuous worker. This hero was young, did not like to talk about heroism, but honestly performed his military duties and turned out to be capable of a feat not in words, but in deeds.

The theme of the Great Patriotic War is one of the main themes in the literature of the 20th century. How many lives did the war claim, at what cost was the victory won? Reading works about the Great Patriotic War, one involuntarily asks these questions.

On the grave of the Unknown Soldier in Moscow, the words are carved: " Your name it is not known, your feat is immortal. Books about the war are also like a monument to the dead. They solve one of the problems of education - they teach the younger generation love for the Motherland, perseverance in trials, they teach high morality on the example of fathers and grandfathers. Their importance is growing more and more in connection with the great relevance of the theme of war and peace in our days.

It is very difficult for us, the younger generation, to imagine war today, we know about it only from the pages of books and the memoirs of veterans, who are becoming less and less every day. But we are obliged to convey the memory of the war to our descendants, to convey the heroism and resilience of people who fought to the death for their homeland.

B. Vasiliev. The story "I was not on the lists"

The reading of B. Vasiliev's story "I was not on the lists" touched me to the depths of my heart. Brest. Legendary fortress. The granite path leading to the grave of the heroes shines red. One of them, Nikolai Pluzhnikov, was told by Boris Vasiliev in the novel “He Was Not on the Lists”.

A happy young man who has just received the rank of lieutenant along with other graduates of the military school. Nicholas arrived at his destination on the night that separated the world from the war. He did not have time to register, and at dawn the battle began, which lasted for Pluzhnikov continuously for more than 9 months. Talking about short life Lieutenant, who by the time of his death was 20 years old, the writer shows how the young man becomes a hero, and all his behavior in the fortress is a feat.

Nikolai, a hero not from birth, while still a cadet, developed a sense of duty and personal responsibility for the present and future of the Motherland - qualities without which the feat would not have taken place. In the most severe conditions of the war, he is forced to make independent decisions, first of all, he thinks about the danger in which the Motherland is, and not about himself. After all, he could leave the fortress, and this would not have been either desertion or betrayal of the order: he was not listed in any lists, he was a free man ... about the death of Vladimir Denshchik, who saved him, and understands that he survived only because someone died for him. N. Pluzhnikov courageously remains at the combat post of a soldier to the end. On April 12, 1942, when the tenth month of the war was already underway, a hoarse but triumphant laugh of the unconquered was heard from the fortress. It was Nikolai who saluted Moscow, having learned that the enemies could not take it. And on the same day, he went out, blind, exhausted, gray-haired, to say goodbye to the sun. “The fortress did not fall; she just bled out,” and Pluzhnikov was her last straw.

V. Bykov. The story "Sign of trouble"

In the center of V. Bykov's story "The Sign of Trouble" is a man at war. A person does not always go to war, sometimes she herself comes to his house, as happened with two Belarusian old men, peasants Stepanida and Petrok Bogatko. The farm where they live is occupied. The policemen come to the estate, and behind them the fascists. They are not shown by V. Bykov as cruel and atrocious, they just come to someone else's house and settle down there as masters, following the idea of their Fuhrer that anyone who is not an Aryan is not a person, in his house you can cause complete ruin, but the inhabitants of the house themselves - be treated like work animals. And that is why it is so unexpected for them that Stepanida is not ready to obey them unquestioningly. Not allowing yourself to be humiliated is the source of this middle-aged woman's resistance in such a dramatic situation. Stepanida is a strong character. Human dignity is the main thing that drives her actions. “During her difficult life, she nevertheless learned the truth and, bit by bit, gained her human dignity. And the one who once felt like a man will never become cattle, ”V. Bykov writes about his heroine. At the same time, the writer does not just draw this character for us, he reflects on the origins of its formation.

What was happening even before the war in the village became that “sign of trouble” that Bykov speaks of. Stepanida Bogatko, who “for six years, not sparing herself, toiled as laborers,” believed in a new life, one of the first to enroll in a collective farm - it’s not for nothing that she is called a rural activist. But soon she realized that there was no truth that she was looking for and waiting for in this new life. Fearing suspicion of pandering to a class enemy, it is she, Stepanida, who throws angry words at an unfamiliar man in a black leather jacket: “Don't you need justice? You smart people, don't you see what's going on?" More than once Stepanida tries to intervene in the course of the case, intercede for Levon, who was arrested on a false denunciation, send Petrok to Minsk with a petition to the CEC chairman himself. And every time her resistance to untruth stumbles upon a blank wall. Unable to change the situation alone, Stepanida finds an opportunity to save herself, her inner sense of justice, to move away from what is happening around: “Do what you want. But without me." It was in the pre-war years that one should look for the source of the formation of Stepanida's character, and not in the fact that she was a collective farmer activist, but in the fact that she managed not to succumb to the general rapture of deceit, empty words about a new life, she managed not to succumb to fear, she managed to keep in herself human beginning. And during the war years, it determined her behavior. At the end of the story, Stepanida dies, but dies, not resigning herself to fate, but resisting it to the last. One of the critics remarked ironically that "the damage inflicted by Stepanida on the enemy's army was great." Yes, the visible material damage is not great. But something else is infinitely important: Stepanida, by her death, proves that she is a person, and not a working animal that can be subdued, humiliated, forced to obey. In resistance to violence, that strength of character of the heroine is manifested, which, as it were, refutes death, shows the reader how much a person can, even if he is alone, even if he is in a hopeless situation.
Next to Stepanida, Petrok is shown as a character, if not opposite to her, then, in any case, completely different - not active, but rather timid and peaceful, ready for compromise.
Petrok's endless patience is based on a deep conviction that it is possible to speak kindly to people. And only at the end of the story this peaceful man, having exhausted all his patience, decides to protest, openly fight back.
The folk tragedy shown in V. Bykov's story "The Sign of Trouble" reveals the origins of genuine human characters.

Y. Bondarev. Novel "Hot Snow".

The novel "Hot Snow" by Y. Bondarev is dedicated to the events near Stalingrad in the winter of 1942. Its heroes not only perform actions, but also comprehend their actions. And therefore this novel is a work not only about heroism and courage, but also about inner beauty our contemporary, who defeated fascism in a bloody war.

The action of the novel takes place within one day, starting from the moment when the battery of Lieutenant Drozdovsky was placed in firing positions a hundred kilometers from Stalingrad and entered into battle with the German tanks, breaking through to the rescue of Field Marshal Paulus and his sixth army surrounded in the city on the Volga, and ending with the hour when the batteries, almost completely fallen at their guns, still did not let the enemy through. Memorable figures on the pages of the novel are senior sergeant Ukhanov, gunners Nechaev and Evstigneev, foreman Skorik, riders Rubin and Sergunenko, medical instructor Zoya Elagina. All of them were brought together by a sacred duty - to defend the Motherland.

Y. Bondarev says that the soldier’s memory inspired him to create this work: “I remembered a lot that over the years I began to forget: the winter of 1942, the cold, the steppe, ice trenches, tank attacks, bombing, the smell of burning and burnt armor…”

Conclusion

Keeping the memory of the dead is sacred. How high is the price of this victory! We do not know exactly how many people died in these four years in the country: twenty million, twenty-seven million, or even more. But we know one thing: the instigators of the war are not people. And the more we know about the lessons of history, including about the war, the more vigilant we will be, the more we will appreciate peaceful life, respect the memory of the fallen, be grateful to that generation of people who defeated the enemy, reached his very lair. The pain of the dead is the eternal pain of our people. And it is impossible to erase from memory everything that was in the war, because "It is not necessary for the dead, it is necessary for the living," that is, all of us, including young people.

The victory came to us thanks to the deep patriotism of the fighters. Every Soviet person understood that he had no right to give his Motherland to the power of enemies.

I perceive the Great Patriotic War as a great grief and tragedy for millions of people. After all, almost every resident of Russia lost his relatives and friends in that war. And at the same time, I see this war as a grandiose triumph of patriotism, love for the motherland. I think that every fighter at that time was aware of our rightness and the sanctity of the duty that lies with every citizen of the country.

I am deeply grateful to our veterans for living in a free Russia now. War is always scary. This is pain, grief, tears, torment, suffering, hatred.

R. Rozhdestvensky's words sound like a spell:

People!
As long as hearts are beating

Remember!
At what price was wonhappiness ,

Please remember!

The theme of the Great Patriotic War in literature: essay-reasoning. Works of the Great Patriotic War: "Vasily Terkin", "The Fate of a Man", "The Last Fight of Major Pugachev". Writers of the 20th century: Varlam Shalamov, Mikhail Sholokhov, Alexander Tvardovsky.

410 words, 4 paragraphs

World War broke into the USSR unexpectedly for ordinary people. If the politicians could still know or guess, then the people certainly remained in the dark until the first bombing. The Soviets failed to prepare on a full scale, and our army, limited in resources and weapons, was forced to retreat in the first years of the war. Although I was not a participant in those events, I consider it my duty to know everything about them, so that later I can tell the children about everything. The world must never forget that monstrous struggle. Not only I think so, but also those writers and poets who told about the war to me and my peers.

First of all, I mean Tvardovsky's poem "Vasily Terkin". In this work, the author depicted collective image Russian soldier. This is a cheerful and strong-willed guy who is always ready to go into battle. He rescues his comrades, helps civilians, every day he has a silent feat in the name of saving the Motherland. But he does not build himself a hero, he has enough humor and modesty to keep himself simple and do his job without further ado. This is how I see my great-grandfather, who died in that war.

I also remember Sholokhov's story "The Fate of Man". Andrey Sokolov is also a typical Russian soldier, whose fate contained all the sorrows of the Russian people: he lost his family, was taken prisoner, and even after returning home, he almost ended up on trial. It would seem that it is beyond the power of a person to withstand such an assertive hail of blows, but the author emphasizes that not only Andrey stood - everyone stood to death for the sake of saving the Motherland. The strength of a hero lies in his unity with the people who shared his heavy burden. For Sokolov, all the victims of the war became family, so he takes the orphan Vanechka to him. I imagine my great-grandmother as kind and persistent, who did not live to see my birthday, but, being a nurse, hundreds of children came out who are teaching me today.

In addition, I remember Shalamov's story "The Last Battle of Major Pugachev." There, a soldier, innocently punished, escapes from prison, but, unable to achieve freedom, kills himself. I have always admired his sense of justice and the courage to stand up for it. He is a strong and worthy defender of the fatherland, and I feel sorry for his fate. But after all, those who today forget that unprecedented feat of selflessness of our ancestors are no better than the authorities that imprisoned Pugachev and doomed him to death. They are even worse. Therefore, today I would like to be like that major who was not afraid of death, just to defend the truth. Today, the truth about that war needs to be defended like never before... And I will not forget it thanks to Russian literature of the 20th century.

Interesting? Save it on your wall!
