They say that the foreigners have been trying to understand the notorious “Russian soul” for several hundred years. And in vain. What distinguishes "our" person from representatives of other nationalities? Kindness, pride, love of freedom and unquestioning love of country, as well as amazing sincerity, sometimes even naivety. All these qualities are endowed with the heroes of Shukshin. And the more decades separates us from the life of Vasily Makarovich, the more obvious it becomes that with his humanism and universal human life his work becomes all the more relevant.
The questions that Shukshin asked several decades ago: what is happening with us? What are our values? Has the Russian man lost his spirituality? - with all certainty and urgency are set by our time.
