The work of Alexei Tolstoy. Master of the short story of the first half of the twentieth century. Part Seven
They talked about him as a hero, and Vasily Vasilyevich is ready to forgive Elena's love for him, and now he is ready to go to the front himself. For Elena, life has lost its meaning. She also finds herself at the front, near her husband, working in a field hospital. And here, in the midst of human suffering, observing human patience, they rediscover each other. Vasily Vasilyevich, mortally wounded, calmly, without fear awaits death. And for Elena, he became "dear, the only one, beloved."
Love is also a healing force for the hero of the story "Under the Sea" (1915). Having withstood the incredible difficulties of a military campaign on a submarine, having lost many of his colleagues, and miraculously surviving himself, Andrei Nikolaevich realizes only after all this what love means to him, which he once could not appreciate. But only through mortal danger and through suffering could he come to this. A frivolous adventurer, as we see him at the beginning of the story, when death is near, he begins to understand that "to die is to be left alone." Andrey Nikolaevich felt a great feeling of love growing in him, which was barely a faint memory and has now become synonymous with life.
Tolstoy's characters, rediscovering themselves in the war, do this not so much by looking inside themselves as by looking around themselves and noticing something they had not seen before: the people.
The same Russia that "plows the land and grazes cattle" was not reflected in Tolstoy's stories, although it existed alongside those "who force it to do all this." There were horse thieves, there were peasants who burned down landlords' estates because they were "encouraged" to do so with leaflets ("Cockerel", 1910), rebelled against zemstvo injustices ("Matchmaking", 1910), there was a fisherman Ignat and his granddaughter Natasha, with whom the master Ivan Semenovich was in love, but nothing out of this love it didn't work out ("In the Forest", 1911). In short, the vague outlines of representatives of labor Russia only occasionally loomed next to the landlords and the intelligentsia. When they appeared in the stories of the wartime, they did not appear in full growth here either.
Tolstoy was not free from patriotic fervor at the beginning of the war, although he did not experience it to the same extent as others. Therefore, ordinary people form a kind of heroic core and have a beneficial effect on those who first came into contact with the difficulties of the military situation.
Officer Demyanov and Private Anikin in the story "An Ordinary Man" (1914) are connected by one patriotic thread. Only an ordinary person thinks more clearly than a gentleman.
