- Abstract
The article analyzes the 1966–1968 cycle of V.M. Shukshin’s stories which were his direct response to the approaching fiftieth anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution. The stories “Mil’ pardon, madam!” (“Mille Rardons, Madam!”), “Zarevoi dozhd’” (“The Rain at the Dawn”), “Kapronovaia elochka” (“Kapron Christmas Tree”), “Nechaiannyi vystrel” (“Accidental Shot”), “Okhota zhit’” (“Hunting to Live”), “Operatsiia Efima P’ianykh” (“Efim P’ianykh’s Operation”) are characterized by a common manner of narration and form the writer’s cycle of works about the folk’s national character and its evolution under the influence of the events in the first half of the 20th century. The article mainly focuses on the fairy-tale novel “Tochka Zreniia” (“Point of View”) which arouses interest as it clearly reveals the writer’s artistic tools that are more naturally applied in the anniversary prose cycle
