It doesn’t hurt the dead. In the fog

The merciless prose of Vasil Bykov opens the flip side of the war, which has not yet been accepted about: the meaninglessness of losses, heroism at the expense of others, cruelty to enemies and their own. In the story, the writer does not hurt the dead about the tragic fate of the younger lieutenant Vasilevich, who was faced with cowardice, betrayal, and distrust. Vasilevich survived, and in his life after the war the meaning of the name is completely revealed: it does not hurt the dead - painfully alive. In the story in the fog, bulls focuses on the inner world of the hero, who managed to maintain humanity in the most phantasmagoric conditions.
