"August of the Fourteenth" is the first volume in the historical epic "The Red Wheel". In it, not only the depiction and analysis of the Samson catastrophe is carried out, but also a work of art overview of the reign of the last Emperor Nicholas II up to the First World War, and the figure of Prime Minister P. A. Stolypin is vividly presented — his works, reforms, and tragic death.
"Conceived in 1937 and completed in 1980, 'August of the Fourteenth' by A. I. Solzhenitsyn is a significant milestone in the artistic portrayal of the First World War. Critics have repeatedly noted its parallels with 'War and Peace' by L. Tolstoy. Let’s agree with V. Potapov: 'Solzhenitsyn couldn’t have written as if Tolstoy’s epic had never existed.' Given the writer’s repeated statements about the motives that led him to turn to Russian history — the most decisive of which, as is known, was the refutation of the lie that dominated public consciousness — it is natural to assume that Solzhenitsyn also could not have written as if Soviet works about the "imperialist slaughter" did not exist. At the same time, it is probably a matter of his polemic with one of them; in our view, it is more appropriate to talk about the confrontation between 'August of the Fourteenth' and the established Soviet literary tradition of artistically embodying historical cataclysms that marked the beginning of the 20th century…"
