Wonderful, but, unfortunately, not devoid ofideological raid film, based on the story of Vasilyev in 1972, does not convey the thoughts of one of the heroines who came to her mind in the last moments of life. In the wilds of the Karelian forests, leading the Germans, she fled and thought "How stupid to die at eighteen!". Even a heroic death to die a man who is just beginning his life, is always silly and monstrously ridiculous. Especially if this person is a woman. Mother's field In her first public statement, after she was announced the Nobel Prize in 2015, Alexievich condemned Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014. [52] Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, she commented that "providing a territory for an aggressor country is nothing but complicity in a crime" in relation to Belarusian involvement in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

She has been described as the first journalist to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. [39] She herself rejects the notion that she is a journalist, and, in fact, Alexievich's chosen genre is sometimes called "documentary literature": an artistic rendering of real events, with a degree of poetic license. [11] In her own words: In Russian discourse, the concept of power and sovereignty is still associated with masculinity, and that is why sexist hierarchy of values is used as a weapon in the Russian information war. An essay on the theme "Years of War" can tellnot only about exploits on the front line. And the horrors of battles in it are not the main topic. There are worse things than bombs and shelling. The most terrible thing is the fate of the mother, who survived her sons. The story of Chingiz Aitmatov is dedicated to women who overcame all the hardships of the war-hunger, daily exhausting labor-but never waited for their children. Mother should not bury her son. With his death, she will not be able to reconcile, no matter how valiant a feat he has committed. Even if her son is a Hero of the Great Patriotic War. The composition of the work "The Motherland" allows us to reveal the topic of the tragic fate of soldiers' mothers. A woman by nature is destined forthe birth of life, but not to destroy it. But if you need to protect your home and your children, she will take up arms. And she will learn how to kill. But after that it will remain on her soul a heavy load, bleeding wound. A woman who takes life is always scary. Even if this life belonged to the enemy, the fascist and the occupier. After all, war does not have a woman's face ... The war does not have a woman's face ... The writing on this topic is written by high school students, without realizing how much cruel truth in this phrase. The war was invented by men. But igniting it, they could not save their wives, daughters, mothers ... So it was, is, and, alas, will be. The article is devoted to the most disharmonious and unnatural picture in the history of mankind - a woman in war.Much has been said about the heroism of this woman. There is an opinion that her exploits are somewhat exaggerated. The country needs heroes. Real or fictional. But besides Lyudmila Pavlichenko, several hundred Soviet girls and women served on the front. Unlike the legendary sniper, they had the right to tell about what they experienced. But they said little. Talking about war is a man's business. A woman by nature is destined for the birth of life, but not for its destruction. But if you need to protect your home and your children, she will take up arms. And she will learn how to kill. But after that it will remain on her soul a heavy load, bleeding wound. A woman who takes life is always scary. Even if this life belonged to the enemy, the fascist and the occupier. After all, war does not have a woman's face ...
