Shukshin V. A collection of essays in six volumes. In Russian (ask us if in doubt)/Shukshin V. Sobranie sochineniy v shesti tomakh. The phenomenon of writer and playwright Vasily Makarovich Shukshin (1929-1974) consists primarily in the fact that he brought to art his unborrowed idea of what happens to people, a vision deeply rooted in the hidden essence of Russian life. The heroes of his works are impulsive, subject to impulses, and therefore extremely natural in their actions. SKUalb3f7c8a1c55c99573.
