The Great Patriotic War, even after many decades, remains the greatest blow to the whole world. What a tragedy this is for the fighting Soviet people, who lost the most people in this bloody duel! The lives of many (both military and civilians) were broken. Sholokhov's story "The Fate of a Man" truthfully depicts these sufferings, not of an individual, but of the entire people who stood up to defend their homeland.

The story "The Fate of a Man" is based on real events: M.A. Sholokhov met a man who told him his tragic biography. This story was almost a ready-made plot, but it did not immediately turn into a literary work. The writer hatched his idea for 10 years, but put it on paper in just a few days. And he dedicated it to E. Levitskaya, who helped him print the main novel of his life, Quiet Flows the Don.

The story was published in the Pravda newspaper on the eve of the new year, 1957. And soon it was read on the All-Union Radio, heard by the whole country. Listeners and readers were shocked by the power and veracity of this work, it gained well-deserved popularity. In literary terms, this book opened up a new way for writers to reveal the theme of war - through the fate of a little man.

Essence of the story

The author accidentally meets the main character Andrei Sokolov and his son Vanyushka. During the forced delay at the crossing, the men began to talk, and a casual acquaintance told the writer his story. Here is what he told him.

Before the war, Andrei lived like everyone else: wife, children, household, work. But then thunder struck, and the hero went to the front, where he served as a driver. One fateful day, Sokolov's car came under fire, he was shell-shocked. So he was captured.

A group of prisoners was brought to the church for an overnight stay, many incidents occurred that night: the execution of a believer who could not desecrate the church (they weren’t even released “before the wind”), and with him several people who accidentally fell under machine gun fire, help from doctor Sokolov and others wounded. Also, the main character had to strangle another prisoner, as he turned out to be a traitor and was going to betray the commissioner. Even during the next transfer to the concentration camp, Andrei tried to escape, but was caught by dogs, who stripped him of his last clothes and bit everything that “skin with meat flew to shreds.”

Then the concentration camp: inhuman work, almost starvation, beatings, humiliation - that's what Sokolov had to endure. “They need four cubic meters of output, and for the grave of each of us, even one cubic meter through the eyes is enough!” Andrew said carelessly. And for this he appeared before the Lagerführer Müller. They wanted to shoot the main character, but he overcame fear, bravely drank three shots of schnapps for his death, for which he earned respect, a loaf of bread and a piece of lard.

Toward the end of hostilities, Sokolov was appointed as a driver. And, finally, there was an opportunity to escape, and even with the engineer, whom the hero drove. The joy of salvation did not have time to subside, grief arrived: he learned about the death of his family (a shell hit the house), and after all, all this time he lived only in the hope of meeting. Only one son survived. Anatoly also defended the Motherland, with Sokolov they simultaneously approached Berlin from different sides. But right on the day of victory, the last hope was killed. Andrew was left all alone.

Subject

The main theme of the story is a man at war. These tragic events are an indicator of personal qualities: in extreme situations, those character traits that are usually hidden are revealed, it is clear who is who in reality. Andrei Sokolov before the war was no different, he was like everyone else. But in battle, having survived captivity, a constant danger to life, he showed himself. His truly heroic qualities were revealed: patriotism, courage, fortitude, will. On the other hand, the same prisoner as Sokolov, probably also no different in ordinary civilian life, was going to betray his commissar in order to curry favor with the enemy. Thus, the theme of moral choice is also reflected in the work.

Also M.A. Sholokhov touches on the theme of willpower. The war took away from the protagonist not only health and strength, but also the whole family. He has no home, how to continue to live, what to do next, how to find meaning? This question interested hundreds of thousands of people who experienced similar losses. And for Sokolov, taking care of the boy Vanyushka, who was also left without a home and family, became a new meaning. And for his sake, for the sake of the future of his country, you need to live on. Here is the disclosure of the theme of the search for the meaning of life - a real person finds it in love and hope for the future.

Issues

1. The problem of choice occupies an important place in the story. Every person faces a choice every day. But not everyone has to choose under pain of death, knowing that your fate depends on this decision. So, Andrey had to decide: to betray or remain true to the oath, to bend under the blows of the enemy or to fight. Sokolov was able to remain a worthy person and citizen, because he determined his priorities, guided by honor and morality, and not by the instinct of self-preservation, fear or meanness.
2. In the whole fate of the hero, in his life trials, the problem of defenselessness of the common man in the face of war is reflected. Little depends on him, circumstances are falling on him, from which he is trying to get out at least alive. And if Andrei could save himself, then his family could not. And he feels guilty about it, even though he isn't.
3. The problem of cowardice is realized in the work through minor characters. The image of a traitor who is ready to sacrifice the life of a fellow soldier for the sake of momentary gain becomes a counterbalance to the image of the brave and strong-willed Sokolov. And such people were in the war, says the author, but there were fewer of them, that's why we won.
4. The tragedy of war. Numerous losses were suffered not only by soldiers, but also by civilians who could not defend themselves in any way.

Characteristics of the main characters

1. Andrei Sokolov is an ordinary person, one of many who had to leave a peaceful existence in order to defend their homeland. He exchanges a simple and happy life for the dangers of war, not even imagining how to stay away. In extreme circumstances, he maintains spiritual nobility, shows willpower and stamina. Under the blows of fate, he managed not to break. And to find a new meaning of life, which betrays kindness and responsiveness in him, because he sheltered an orphan.
2. Vanyushka is a lonely boy who has to spend the night wherever he has to. His mother was killed during the evacuation, his father at the front. Ragged, dusty, in watermelon juice - this is how he appeared before Sokolov. And Andrei could not leave the child, introduced himself as his father, giving a chance for a further normal life for himself and him.

What was the point of the work?

One of the main ideas of the story is the need to take into account the lessons of the war. The example of Andrei Sokolov shows not what war can do to a person, but what it can do to all of humanity. Prisoners tortured by the concentration camp, orphaned children, destroyed families, scorched fields - this should never be repeated, and therefore should not be forgotten.

No less important is the idea that in any, even the most terrible situation, one must remain a man, not be like an animal, which, out of fear, acts only on the basis of instincts. Survival is the main thing for anyone, but if this is given at the cost of betraying oneself, one's comrades, the Motherland, then the surviving soldier is no longer a person, he is not worthy of this title. Sokolov did not betray his ideals, did not break down, although he went through something that is difficult for a modern reader to even imagine.

Genre

A story is a short literary genre that reveals one storyline and several characters. "The fate of man" refers specifically to him.

However, if you look closely at the composition of the work, you can clarify the general definition, because this is a story within a story. At the beginning, the author narrates, who, by the will of fate, met and talked with his character. Andrei Sokolov himself describes his difficult life, the first-person narrative allows readers to better feel the feelings of the hero and understand him. Author's remarks are introduced to characterize the hero from the outside ("eyes, as if sprinkled with ashes", "I did not see a single tear in his as if dead, extinct eyes ... only large, limply lowered hands trembled finely, chin trembled, hard lips trembled") and show how deeply this strong man suffers.

What values ​​does Sholokhov promote?

The main value for the author (and for readers) is the world. Peace between states, peace in society, peace in the human soul. The war destroyed the happy life of Andrei Sokolov, as well as many people. The echo of the war still does not subside, so its lessons must not be forgotten (although often in recent times this event has been overestimated for political purposes far from the ideals of humanism).

Also, the writer does not forget about the eternal values ​​of the individual: nobility, courage, will, desire to help. The time of knights, noble dignity has long passed, but true nobility does not depend on origin, it is in the soul, expressed in its ability for mercy and empathy, even if the world around is collapsing. This story is an excellent lesson in courage and morality for modern readers.

Interesting? Save it on your wall!

The protagonist of the story, a front-line driver, a man who went through the whole war. During the Civil War, he lost his father, mother and younger sister, and during the Great Patriotic War, his wife, two daughters and a son. Andrei was a native of the Voronezh province. With the outbreak of the Civil War, he went to the Red Army, to the Kikvidze division, and in 1922 he left for the Kuban to work for the kulaks.

An orphan boy of five or six years old from the story. The author does not immediately give a portrait of this character. He quite unexpectedly appears in the life of Andrei Sokolov - a man who went through the whole war and lost all his relatives. You won’t notice him right away: “he lay quietly on the ground, crouching under the angular matting.”

Narrator

He told us this story when he accidentally met Andrei Sokolov and Vanyushka at the river crossing.

Irina

Andrei Sokolov's wife, an orphan, kind and loving woman who bore him three children, a son Anatoly and daughters - Nastenka and Olyushka. She died from an accidental bomb hit on her house. Her two daughters also died with her.

Anatoly

Son of Andrei Sokolov. After the death of his mother and sisters, he went to the artillery school, from where he recovered to the front. He rose to the rank of captain, had six orders and medals, was a battery commander. He died on May 9, 1945 from a German sniper's bullet.

military doctor

A doctor in captivity who provided medical assistance to Soviet soldiers who were captured. Helped Andrey Sokolov straighten his shoulder.

Kryzhnev

A traitor who, while in captivity, wanted to hand over a platoon commander to the Nazis. Sokolov, together with the platoon commander, strangled him.

Muller

German, commandant of the POW camp where the Russians were kept. He liked to hit them in the face every morning, calling it "flu prevention." He wanted to shoot Andrei Sokolov, but he surprised him by refusing a snack when the German generously poured him schnapps before being shot. Instead of being shot, Müller gave him bread and bacon.

Major

German officer, whom Andrey Sokolov drove in a car in captivity, in Germany. After they were transferred to the front line, Sokolov knocked him out with a blow to the head and, having slipped through the front line in a car, took him to his own.

Ivan Timofeevich

Sokolov's neighbor in Voronezh. I told him that his house was bombed and his wife and daughters were killed, and then gave his address to Anatoly.

Sholokhov's work is closely connected with the era in which he lived. His works are a special look at life. This is the look of an adult, hardened by the harsh reality of a person who loves his homeland and appreciates people who have met danger with their breasts. These people died so that we could live in a free country, so that tears of happiness would shine in the eyes of their children.

During the Great Patriotic War, Sholokhov set himself the goal of strengthening the love for the motherland among the Soviet people. The story "The Fate of a Man", written in 1957, is an amazing work about how two souls, tormented by the horrors of the war years, find support and the meaning of life in each other.

Andrei Sokolov is an ordinary person, his fate is similar to thousands of other destinies, his life is similar to many other lives. The protagonist of the story endured the trials that fell to his lot with enviable fortitude. He perfectly remembered the difficult parting with his family when he went to the front. He cannot forgive himself for pushing away his wife during parting, who had a presentiment that this was their last meeting: “I forcefully separated her hands and gently pushed her on the shoulders. I kind of pushed it lightly, but my strength was stupid; she backed away, took three steps, and again walks towards me with small steps, stretching out her hands.

In early spring, Andrei Sokolov was wounded twice, shell-shocked, and, worst of all, captured. The hero had to endure inhuman trials in Nazi captivity, but, nevertheless, he did not break. Andrei still managed to escape, and he again returned to the ranks of the Red Army. This man endured a tragic death. He hears terrible news on the last day of the war: “Be of good cheer, father! Your son, Captain Sokolov, was killed today at the battery.

Andrei Sokolov has amazing courage and mental strength, the horrors he experienced do not make him embittered. The protagonist leads a continuous struggle within himself and emerges from it as a winner. This man, who lost his loved ones during the Great Patriotic War, finds the meaning of life in Vanyusha, who also remained an orphan: “Such a little ragamuffin: his face is all in watermelon juice, covered with dust, dirty as dust, unkempt, and his eyes are like stars at night after the rain! It is this boy with "eyes as bright as a sky" that becomes the new life of the protagonist.

Vanyusha's meeting with Sokolov was significant for both. The boy, whose father died at the front, and his mother was killed on the train, still hopes that they will find him: “Daddy, dear! I know that you will find me! You will still find it! I've been waiting for you to find me for such a long time.” Andrey Sokolov awakens paternal feelings for someone else's child: “He clung to me and trembled like a blade of grass in the wind. And I have a fog in my eyes and I also tremble all over, and my hands are shaking ... "

The glorious hero of the story again performs some mental, and, possibly, moral feat when he takes the boy for himself. He helps him get back on his feet and feel needed. This child became a kind of “medicine” for Andrey’s crippled soul: “I went to bed with him and for the first time in a long time I fell asleep peacefully. ... I wake up, and he will take shelter under my arm, like a sparrow under a trap, quietly sniffing, and before I feel joyful in my soul, you can’t say it in words!

“Two orphaned people, two grains of sand thrown into foreign lands by a military hurricane of unprecedented strength ... what lies ahead for them?” - asks Maxim Alexandrovich Sholokhov at the end of the story. One thing is certain - these people will still find their happiness, otherwise it cannot be.

Sholokhov's story is permeated with deep, bright faith in man. The name is also very symbolic, because this work expresses not only the fate of the soldier Andrei Sokolov, but also the fate of Vanyusha himself, and indeed the whole country. “And I would like to think,” writes Sholokhov, “that this Russian man, a man of inexhaustible will, will survive, and one will grow up near his father’s shoulder who, having matured, will be able to withstand everything, overcome everything on his way, if the Motherland calls for this.”

I think that the characters in The Fate of Man are typical of their time. Millions of people were left orphans in the brutal war of 1941-1945. But the resilience and courage of a generation that has found the strength to believe and wait is amazing. People did not become embittered, but, on the contrary, rallied and became even stronger. Both Andrei Sokolov and Vanyusha, who is still a very young boy, are strong-willed and persistent people. Perhaps this helped them find each other.

In my opinion, Sholokhov took upon himself the sacred duty to tell humanity the harsh truth about the enormous price paid by the Soviet people for the right to be free and for the right to make the next generation happy. War is cruel and heartless, it does not make out who is right and who is wrong, it does not spare children, women or old people. Therefore, future generations are obliged to know the whole truth about her.

Time quickly pushes back into history important milestones in the life of countries and peoples. The last volleys have long since died down. Time ruthlessly takes the living witnesses of the heroic time into immortality. Books, films, memories return descendants to the past. The exciting work The Fate of Man, authored by Mikhail Sholokhov, takes us back to those difficult years.

Andrey Sokolov

Meeting with Andrey Sokolov

The first post-war war turned out to be “assertive”, the Upper Don quickly melted, the paths were lucky. It was at this time that the narrator had to get to the village of Bukanovskaya. On the way, they crossed the flooded river Elanka, sailed for an hour in a dilapidated boat. While waiting for the second flight, he met his father and son, a boy of 5-6 years old. The author noted a deep longing in the eyes of a man, they are as if sprinkled with ashes. The careless clothes of his father suggested that he lives without female care, but the boy was dressed warmly and neatly. Everything became clear when the narrator learned a sad story new acquaintance.

The life of the protagonist before the war

The hero of Voronezh himself. At first, everything in life was normal. Born in 1900, passed, fought in the Kikvidze division. He survived the famine of 1922, working for the Kuban kulaks, but his parents and sister died of starvation that year in the Voronezh province.

All alone was left. Having sold the hut, he left for Voronezh, where started a family. He married an orphan, for him there was no one more beautiful and desirable than his Irina. Children were born, a son Anatoly and two daughters, Nastenka and Olyushka.

He worked as a carpenter, a factory worker, a locksmith, but really "lured" cars. Ten years flew by in labor and worries imperceptibly. The wife bought two goats, the wife and hostess Irina was excellent. Children are well-fed, shod, pleased with excellent study. Andrei earned well, they saved up some money. They built a house near the aircraft factory, which the protagonist later regretted. In another place, the house could have survived the bombing, and life could have turned out quite differently. Everything that was created over the years collapsed in an instant - the war began.

War

They called Andrey with a summons on the second day, they saw off the whole family to the war. Saying goodbye was hard. Wife Irina seemed to feel that they would not see each other again, day and night her eyes did not dry up from tears.

The formation took place in Ukraine, near the White Church. Dali ZIS-5, on it and went to the front. Andrei fought less than a year. He was wounded twice, but he quickly returned to duty. He wrote home infrequently: there was no time, and there was nothing special to write about - they retreated on all fronts. Andrey condemned those "bitches in their pants who complain, seek sympathy, salivate, but they don’t want to understand that these unfortunate women and kids didn’t have a better time in the rear."

In May 1942, near Lozovenki, the main character fell into fascist captivity. The day before, he volunteered to deliver shells to the gunners. The battery was less than a kilometer away when a long-range shell exploded near the car. He woke up, and the battle behind him was going on. It was not by choice that he was taken prisoner. German submachine gunners took off his boots, but did not shoot him, but drove Russian prisoners in a column to work in their Reich.

Once we spent the night in a church with a destroyed dome. A doctor was found, and he did his great work in captivity - he helped the wounded soldiers. One of the prisoners was asked to go out of need on the street. Holy faith in God does not allow a Christian to desecrate the temple, the Germans slashed at the door with machine gun fire, injuring three at once and killing a pilgrim. Fate also prepared a terrible test for Andrey - to kill a traitor from "his own". By chance, at night, he heard a conversation from which he realized that the big-faced guy was planning to hand over the platoon commander to the Germans. Andrei Sokolov cannot allow Judas Kryzhnev to save himself at the cost of betrayal and the death of his comrades. An event full of drama in the church shows the behavior of different people in inhuman circumstances.

Important! It is not easy for the protagonist to commit murder, but he sees salvation in the unity of people. In the story "The Fate of a Man" this episode is full of drama.

An unsuccessful escape from the Poznan camp, when graves for prisoners were being dug, almost cost Andrey Sokolov his life. When caught, beaten, poisoned by dogs, the skin with meat and clothes flew to shreds. They brought him to the camp naked, covered in blood. He spent a month in a punishment cell, miraculously survived. Two years of captivity traveled half of Germany: he worked at a silicate plant in Saxony, in a mine in the Ruhr region, in Bavaria, Thuringia. The prisoners were severely beaten and shot. Here they forgot their name, remembered the number, Sokolov was known as 331. They fed him half-and-half bread with sawdust, liquid soup from rutabaga. The list of inhuman tests in captivity does not end there.

Survive and endure Nazi captivity helped. The fortitude of the Russian soldier was appreciated by Lagerführer Müller. In the evening, in the barracks, Sokolov was indignant at the four cubic meters of production, bitterly joking at the same time that a cubic meter would be enough for the grave of each prisoner.

The next day, the commandant of the camp, Sokolov, was summoned by a denunciation of some scoundrel. The description of the duel between a Russian soldier and Muller is fascinating. Refusal to drink for the victory of German arms could cost Sokolov his life. Muller did not shoot, he said that he respects a worthy opponent. As a reward, he gave a loaf of bread and a piece of bacon, the captives divided the products with a harsh thread for everyone.

Sokolov did not leave the thought of escaping. He drove an engineer for the construction of defensive structures with the rank of major. In the front line managed to escape the captive driver, taking a stunned engineer with important documents. For this they promised to present to the award.

They sent him to the hospital for treatment, Andrey Sokolov immediately wrote a letter to Irina. Are relatives alive or not? I waited a long time for an answer from my wife, but received a letter from a neighbor, Ivan Timofeevich. During the bombing of the aircraft factory, nothing remained of the house. Son Tolik was in the city at that time, and Irina and her daughters died. A neighbor reported that Anatoly volunteered for the front.

On vacation I went to Voronezh, but I could not stay even an hour in the place where there was his family happiness and family hearth. He left for the station and returned to the division. Soon his son found him, received a letter from Anatoly and dreamed of meeting. The country was already preparing to celebrate the Victory when Andrei's son was killed Anatoly. A sniper shot him on the morning of May 9th. It is very tragic that the son of Andrei Sokolov lived to see the victory, but could not enjoy life in peacetime. The protagonist buried his son in a foreign land, and he himself was soon demobilized.

After the war

It was painful for him to return to his native Voronezh. Andrew remembered that friend invited to Uryupinsk. Came and began to work as a driver. Here fate brought two lonely people together. The boy Vanya is a gift of fate. A war-wounded man has hope for happiness.

Sholokhov's story ends with the fact that father and son go "in marching order" to Kashary, where a colleague will arrange his father in a carpentry artel, and then they will give out a driver's book. He lost his former document by an unfortunate accident. On a muddy road, the car skidded and he knocked the cow down. Everything worked out, the cow got up and went, but the book had to be laid out.

Important! Any true story or story about the fate of a person who miraculously survived in Nazi captivity is interesting. This story is special, it is about the Russian character unbroken by the war. The author with the utmost clarity expressed admiration for the feat, heroism and courage of ordinary people during the Second World War.

Features of Sholokhov's story "The Fate of a Man"

In the history of literature, it is rare for a short story to become a grand event. After the publication of the story "The Fate of a Man" in the first issue of the Pravda newspaper in 1957, the novelty attracted everyone's attention.

• In the story "The Fate of a Man" a convincing and reliable description of real events captivates. Mikhail Sholokhov heard the tragic story of a Russian soldier in 1946. Then ten long years of silence. The year of writing a short story "The Fate of a Man" is considered late 1956. The work was later filmed.
• Ring composition: the story "The Fate of a Man" begins with a chance meeting between the author and the main character. At the end of the conversation, the men say goodbye, go about their business. In the central part, Andrey Sokolov opened his soul to a new acquaintance. He heard the hero's story about pre-war life, years at the front, return to civilian life.

There are many works in Russian literature that tell about the Great Patriotic War. A vivid example is Mikhail Sholokhov's story "The Fate of a Man", where the author gives us not so much a description of the war as a description of the life of an ordinary person in the difficult war years. In the story "The Fate of a Man" the main characters are not historical figures, not titled officials, nor famous officers. They are ordinary people, but with a very difficult fate.

main characters

Sholokhov's story is small in size, it occupies only ten pages of text. And there are not so many heroes in it. The main character of the story is a Soviet soldier - Andrei Sokolov. Everything that happens to him in life, we hear from his lips. Sokolov is the narrator of the whole story. His named son, the boy Vanyusha, plays an important role in the story. He completes the sad story of Sokolov and opens a new page in his life. They become inseparable from each other, so we will attribute Vanyusha to the group of main characters.

Andrey Sokolov

Andrey Sokolov - the main character of the story "The Fate of a Man"

Sholokhov. His character is truly Russian. How many troubles he endured, what torments he endured, only he himself knows. The hero speaks about this on the pages of the story: “Why did you, life, cripple me like that? Why so distorted? He slowly tells his life from beginning to end to an oncoming fellow traveler, with whom he sat down to light a cigarette by the road.

Sokolov had to go through a lot: hunger, and captivity, and the loss of his family, and the death of his son on the day the war ended. But he endured everything, survived everything, because he had a strong character and iron fortitude. “That’s why you are a man, that’s why you’re a soldier, to endure everything, to demolish everything, if the need called for it,” Andrei Sokolov himself said. His Russian character did not allow him to break down, to retreat in the face of difficulties, to surrender to the enemy. He wrested life from death itself.
All the hardships and cruelties of the war that Andrei Sokolov endured did not kill human feelings in him, did not harden his heart. When he met little Vanyusha, just as lonely as he was, just as unhappy and useless, he realized that he could become his family. “It will not happen that we disappear separately! I will take him to my children, ”Sokolov decided. And he became a father to a homeless boy.

Sholokhov very accurately revealed the character of a Russian man, a simple soldier who fought not for titles and orders, but for his homeland. Sokolov is one of those many who fought for the country, not sparing their lives. It embodied the whole spirit of the Russian people - steadfast, strong, invincible. The characterization of the hero of the story "The Fate of a Man" is given by Sholokhov through the speech of the character himself, through his thoughts, feelings, and actions. We walk with him through the pages of his life. Sokolov goes through a difficult path, but remains a man. A kind man, sympathetic and extending a helping hand to little Vanyusha.

Vanyusha

A boy of five or six years old. He was left without parents, without a home. His father died at the front, and his mother was killed by a bomb while riding a train. Vanyusha walked around in tattered dirty clothes, and ate what people would serve. When he met Andrei Sokolov, he reached out to him with all his heart. "Dear daddy! I knew! I knew you would find me! You can still find it! I've been waiting so long for you to find me!" Vanyusha shouted with tears in his eyes. For a long time he could not tear himself away from his father, apparently, he was afraid that he would lose him again. But in Vanyusha's memory the image of the real father was preserved, he remembered the leather cloak that he wore. And Sokolov told Vanyusha that he probably lost him in the war.

Two loneliness, two fates are now intertwined so tightly that they will never be separated. The heroes of "The Fate of a Man" Andrey Sokolov and Vanyusha are now together, they are one family. And we understand that they will live according to their conscience, in truth. They will all survive, all will survive, all will be able to.

Minor Heroes

There are also a number of minor characters in the story. This is Sokolov's wife Irina, his children are daughters Nastenka and Olyushka, son Anatoly. They do not speak in the story, they are invisible to us, Andrei recalls them. The commander of the auto company, the dark-haired German, the military doctor, the traitor Kryzhnev, the Lagerführer Müller, the Russian colonel, Andrey's Uryupin friend - all these are the heroes of the story of Sokolov himself. Some have neither a name nor a surname, because they are episodic heroes in Sokolov's life.

The real, audible hero here is the author. He meets Andrei Sokolov at the crossing and listens to his life story. It is with him that our hero talks, he tells him his fate.
