(351 words) Say the word “war” aloud. What do you feel? Pain, fear, interest, disappointment? Everyone says that it is impossible to forget the war, that we must remember the feat of our great-grandfathers. But how can you not forget her if you don’t even remember? I know the answer - the works of the authors of that time will be able to show that merciless, terrible time that should not be forgotten. Poems, stories, tales from people, some of which, by will or not, became direct participants in those events.
David Samoilov, Yulia Drunina Konstantin Simonov, Boris Vasiliev, Bulat Okudzhava, Mikhail Sholokhov, Nikolai Gumilev, Vasily Bykov - their writing was inextricably intertwined with the events of World War II, and the names of these writers are well known to the modern generation. V. Bykov wrote about the bloody years, focusing the reader on the actions and personal qualities of the hero in difficult times. Reading his works, it is impossible to find the author’s assessment of the character, on the contrary, the reader independently draws conclusions about the character (the work of Sotnikov is an excellent example of this).
Speaking of wartime, one can not help but pay attention to the poems of Konstantin Simonov, in which the exploits of the military are glorified, it speaks of a welcome victory and the unbearable suffering of mothers. His work supported the fighting spirit of soldiers on the battlefields, charged them with victory. And today's readers appreciate the poems of Konstantin Simonov, as masterpieces of military lyrics, learn by heart and tell, sometimes, with tears in their eyes.
The works of Mikhail Sholokhov “The Fate of a Man” and Alexander Twardovsky “Vasily Terkin” are still very popular among readers. They show with particular force the powerful, solid, savvy, brave character of a Russian person. The main characters of these works portray a true Russian soldier who overcame all military trials and preserved his faith in his people, courage and love for his homeland.
The Great Patriotic War ended more than seventy years ago, but this protracted scar of battles and losses is still throbbing, because people remember. Remember from the works of all famous and beloved writers. In their work lies the courage with which our people won a difficult victory over the enemy.
I say the word “war” - and before my eyes there are heaps of bodies of our soldiers, groaning people in the hospital, tortured land and crying mothers and sisters. I did not see this just because my ancestors protected my peaceful sky above my head. Let us look at the war only in books and on the TV screen.
Delivering happiness
