Synopsis

This is a title in the Bristol Classical Press Russian Texts series, in Russian with English notes, vocabulary and introduction. Aleksander Fadeev's "Razgrom" ("The Rout", 1927) is set in the far eastern region of Russia, and tells the story of a group of Bolshevik partisans. Among the novel's implicit themes are the nature of leadership, the question of freedom and responsibility and the conflict between selfishness and altruism. Although "The Rout" is the work of an ideologically committed writer, it also reflects its author's interest in the traditions of 19th-century Russian literature.
