Rout

Rout 1926 — an autobiographical novel by Alexander Alexandrovich Fadeev 1901–1956, one of the most famous works dedicated to the Civil War in Russia, in which the writer, using the example of the life of a red partisan detachment, sought to show the spirit of the time. The novel is a naturalistic sketch of one of the episodes of the war, reflecting these events as accurately as possible, without concealment or propaganda. The book tells about the people who fought on the side of the Soviet power, shows the sacrifices they had to make, and explains why these people ultimately won. The author condemns cowardice, selfishness, and arrogance that separates a person from the collective and leads to his final moral decay. Fadeev's novel makes one think about humility in the face of difficulties and severe trials that must be endured through cohesion: people need to stick together and fight for a common idea.
