Odessa Stories Babel - a novel cycle about Odessa and its real residents - Mishka Japanchik, Sonya Golden Hand, who turned the writer with the imagination of the writer into artistically reliable images: Beni Krika, Lyubka Cossack, Froim Grach, living in a hyperbolized, almost mythological city inhabited by characters , in which, according to the writer, there is enthusiasm, ease and charming then sad, then a touching sense of life. To plunge into the atmosphere of the described criminal Odessa everyday life, Babel rented a room on Moldavanka by the old Jew Ciris, who was a gunner from the bandits and received his “carbach” from every robbery. According to legend, it was there that Babel spied the plots for these “Odessa stories” known throughout the world.
During his stay in the First Horse Babel, he constantly kept a diary, which became the basis of the cycle of stories about the Konarmia of 1923-1926. Babel’s “Konarmia” was very different from a beautiful legend, which was composed about the official means of information about the Budennovites. The young writer showed unjustified cruelty and animal instincts of soldiers. Without exaggeration, we can say that Konarmia became a document and a literary masterpiece, for the sake of which the writer sacrificed himself. A serious scandal erupted around the book. Stories brought the author fame and at the same time the hatred of the leaders of the first equestrian army of Budyonny and Voroshilov, as well as many official historians. But ... the masterpiece survived both blasphemy and praise and remained - a masterpiece
