The epic novel <Strogovs> by the famous Siberian writer Georgy Makeevich Markov can fully be called historical. In his work, the author vividly and vividly depicts, through the fate of the Strogov peasant family, a picture of life in the Siberian region during major historical events—the Russo-Japanese War, the revolution of 1905, the October Revolution of 1917, and the Civil War. The novel’s main hero, Matvey Strogov, goes <through fire, water, and copper pipes>, from a peaceful peasant beekeeper to the commander of a Red partisan detachment—proving to himself and to others that a person must always remain human and come out with honor from any life’s entanglements.
