"In the novella 'Go and Never Return,' Vasyl Bykov continues developing the theme of war, heroism, and the courage of Soviet people. The writer depicts his heroes—fighters, partisans, and scouts—in the most acute dramatic situations, at moments of the greatest physical and moral tension. The novella shows how difficult the path of the Soviet people to victory over fascism is, and how great the love Soviet people have for their native land."
