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