The Fate of a Man

“The Fate of a Man” is about the horrors that must never happen again. In this short, concise work, the reader follows the life of the hero—one that incorporates the fate of the country.

Andrei Sokolov is a Soviet man, a peaceful worker who hates the war that took his whole family, his happiness, and his hope for the better. Remaining alone, Sokolov did not lose his humanity: he was able to notice and warm up a homeless boy near him. The writer ends the story with the conviction that a new person will rise beside Andrei Sokolov’s shoulder—someone ready to overcome any trials of fate.
