Boris Vasiliev’s epic novel “There Were and There Were Not” is devoted to Russia’s liberation of Bulgaria from under the Ottoman yoke (1877–1878). The arrival of Russian troops in Bulgaria triggered a rise in the Bulgarian national liberation struggle. It was a fight against all forms of tyranny, which explains the mass heroism of Russian and Bulgarian soldiers and officers. The common struggle for a just cause had a huge influence on the spiritual formation of Russian intelligentsia. This main idea of the novel is embodied by its main characters—members of the large Olexin family, direct participants in the events portrayed. In the young Olexins’ search, the difficult quest for truth and justice is reflected—so characteristic of the progressive youth of that time.
