His essays, short stories, stories about the life of the village, in which he raised acute socio-economic and moral issues: the story "The Fall of Ivan Chuprov" (1953), in which the chairman of the collective farm was depicted, deceiving the state for the benefit of the collective farmers themselves; "Bad weather" (1954); "Out of Court" (1954; film "Alien Relatives", 1956); "Death" (1968). In the future, Tendryakov's prose was often built on the following principle: he seemed to invite readers to solve complex ethical puzzles together with the hero, in which case the artistic action became a kind of journalistic device. Tendryakov formed mainly as a master of a short story, built on an emergency or a tragic complication in the life of the characters. The theme of conscience and inner court was developed in the novel "The Tight Knot" (1956; the film "Sasha Enters Life", 1957) and the stories "Knobs" (1956), "Court" (1960), "Three, Seven, Ace" ( 1961), "Nakhodka" (1965), "Maf is a short century" (1966).

The village of Khmelyovka, the life of collective farmers. Revolution, civil war, collectivization.

In the 1960s, a term appeared: village writers. In fact, Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy, Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, Ivan Turgenev wrote a lot about the village ... But it's too obvious - they have absolutely nothing to do with this phenomenon.

Villagers are very specific names of people who also worked in a very specific era. Before the Second World War, such a phenomenon could not have taken shape: it was hardly possible to write about the countryside sincerely, with filial feelings, and at the same time sing of "revolutionary transformations." M. Sholokhov succeeded in singing in Virgin Soil Upturned - but in his books there was not and could not be a warm attitude to peasant life. Sholokhov is a Soviet Cossack, who was called "master" in his native village of Veshenskaya - this is how he differed from his fellow villagers.

Villagers felt a blood, uterine connection with the old village, with rural life and way of life. They frankly opposed it to urban, intellectual, and consistently considered the countryside better, nobler, spiritually purer and higher than the city.

Part of the Russian Europeans - both nobles and intellectuals - also considered the people the custodian of some higher values, and the peasants - spontaneously virtuous people. But in village writers this idea is expressed with the utmost nakedness, rising to the level of a war between two different civilizations.

Not every Narodnaya Volya member would argue so zealously that in a city dweller the dead draws the living, but the village people instinctively know some higher truths, and therefore they are very moral, honest, decent, and spiritually perfect.

The city for villagers acted as a kind of collective devil, a corrupter of a pure village. Absolutely everything that came from the city - even medicines or tools - seemed to them some kind of cunning tricks to destroy the original grace of rural life. This idea was best expressed by the “enlightened soil worker” Soloukhin, who can only be counted among the “villagers” only through a pure misunderstanding. But it was he, the offspring of pernicious Europeanism, who said best of all: “It is easy to see that each of the blessings of civilization and progress exists only in order to “extinguish” some kind of trouble, generated by civilization. Great benefits - penicillin, valocordin, validol. But in order for them to be perceived as a blessing, alas, a disease is needed. healthy person they are not needed. Similarly, the blessings of civilization."

Such a position in the 1920s and 1930s could not be expressed aloud: one of the main ideas of the Bolsheviks was precisely the transformation of Russia from an agrarian country into an industrial one. And in the 1920s, there were certainly people from Russian natives who thought so - but their words did not reach (and could not reach) us.

If villagers wrote during these decades, they would either lie or perish. But no one would have allowed them to talk about the “lada” that reigned in the village. And they themselves would have perished in the Narym swamps or in the Kolyma for the "idealization of patriarchalism", "propaganda alien views"and" support for kulak revolts. In those years, they were shot and exiled for much less.

Villagers appeared when the communist ideology was still strong - but had already passed its highest peak and began to decline. A lot has already been allowed or tacitly allowed, it has already become “possible” to be yourself at least in some way, not to bend so obligingly along with the line of the Party.

The elders of the villagers remembered collectivization, they were witnesses of the nightmare that was happening in the country: mass deportations, dispossession, revolutionary troikas, a terrible famine of the early thirties, the flight of the people to the construction of "garden cities". But they were children then, if they wanted to, they could not say their “no”.

Village prose - a concept introduced in the 60s. to designate prosaic works of Russian literature devoted to village life and referring primarily to the depiction of those humane and ethical values ​​that are associated with the centuries-old traditions of the Russian village.

After the life of the Russian village in Stalin's time was shown at first very rarely, and later - in a distorted form, and the forcible unification of peasants into collective farms was especially idealized (M. Sholokhov) and the truth about the post-war restoration period was distorted (S. Babaevsky), - in In 1952, starting with the works of V. Ovechkin, documentary prose appeared, telling about the damage to state agriculture caused by centralized instructions from above, coming from incompetent people. Under Khrushchev, who, being at the head of the party and the state, tried to improve the situation of agriculture, this accusatory literature, focused on the economy, began to develop rapidly (E. Dorosh). The more artistic elements were introduced into it (for example, V. Tendryakov, A. Yashin, S. Antonov), the more clearly it revealed the harm caused to a person by state mismanagement.

After A. Solzhenitsyn in the story " Matrenin yard"(1963) spoke about those imperishable human and, first of all, religious and Christian values ​​​​that are preserved in the modern Central Russian village, with all its misery, Russian village prose has reached a great rise and over the next decades has generated numerous works that can rightfully be considered the best in Russian literature of this period.F. Abramov in a cycle of novels draws in detail village life in the Arkhangelsk region; V. Belov notes positive features the peasant community before the introduction of collectivization in the rich traditions of the Vologda region; S. Zalygin denounces the destruction of rural traditions in Siberia; V. Shukshin brings out eccentric peasants in his stories, showing them in contrast with the weak-willed city dwellers; V. Astafiev warns against danger modern civilization for the environment.

Then V. Afonin (Siberia), S. Bagrov, S. Voronin, M. Vorfolomeev, I. Druta (Moldova), F. Iskander (Abkhazia), V. Krupin, S. Krutilin, V. Lipatov, V. Likhonosov, V. Lichutin, B. Mozhaev, E. Nosov, V. Semin, G. Troepolsky, V. Rasputin, who convincingly defends religious and universal norms and traditions in his novels about the life of the Siberian village, has reached the highest national and international recognition.

Such authors as, for example, V. Soloukhin, who in their works, along with village traditions, also tried to protect cultural values ​​- churches, monasteries, icons, family estates - were sometimes sharply criticized. In general, however, rural prose, incompatible with the principles proclaimed in 1917, and united around the journal Our Contemporary, enjoys the favorable tolerance of official organizations, since the entire Russian political-patriotic movement feels significant support from them. The polarization of the existing groups within the Soviet intelligentsia in the era of perestroika, with its very free journalism, led in the late 80s. to serious attacks on the authors of rural prose. Because of the Russian-national and Christian-Orthodox thinking, they were justifiably and unreasonably accused of nationalism, chauvinism and anti-Semitism, sometimes they were seen as adherents of extremist circles close to the “Memory” society. The change in the atmosphere around rural prose led to the fact that, under the new political conditions, the center of gravity in literature shifted to other phenomena and problems, and literature itself lost its significance in the literary process.
