WCZESNA ROSYJSKA PROZA RADZIECKA I REWOLUCJA PAŹDZIERNIKOWA
THE REVOLUTION AND THE EARLY SOVIET RUSSIAN PROSE

Summary/Abstract: The problems of revolution overcome completely the young Soviet Russian litera­ture after 1917. It became manifest both in the works of outstanding pre-revolutionary writers as well as in the works of young authors who took part in the revolution and made then their debuts. Together with taking up of the new problems the problem of form (manner) of its representation was born. The author’s assumption is that initially many writers used creatively various tendencies (naturalism, futurism, expressionism) in the Russian and European literature in order to render the impulsiveness and spontaneity of revolution­ized masses. At the same time the more rational visions of revolution and its heroes were created. Starting from The iron brook by Serafimovich, through the works of Tarasov-Rodionov, Libiedinski, Lavrienev, Furmanov to The defeat by Fadieiev and Quietly flows the Don by Sholochov the author investigated the search for, and in substance successful, solutions of the problem of the new interpretation of revolution. Undoubtedly, the direction of search aimed at the psychological prose (The defeat) taking into consideration to a great extent the newest formal achievements in literature (Quietly flows the Don).
