Composition based on the novel by A.A. Fadeeva "Defeat"
The main idea of the novel is to remake people. Fadeev said that the civil war itself will select the strong and throw away the weak. The revolution will sweep away on its way everything hostile and hindering it, worthless and unnecessary, obscured and incapable of real struggle, and the principle that has risen from proletarian roots, striving for struggle and new life, will be the driving force of the revolution.
The novel describes the life of a red partisan detachment. The military defeat of a revolutionary unit shows how strong people are at such a crucial moment, who is capable of giving their lives for the revolution, and who is seeking refuge in order to save themselves.
The members of the partisan detachment are all different, each has its own character. The degree of resilience at a dangerous moment is at different stages for everyone. Not everyone has a strong spirit and will to win over the enemy. A real fighter reveals the best sides of his soul and character. These are Goncharenko and Dubov. Self-willed Frost and submissive Varya. Charming Baklanov. Brave Blizzard, impetuous Levinson.
Many representatives of the intelligentsia helped the revolution, supported it. Mechik refers to her. Confused in proletarian and bourgeois morality, thinking a lot about it, he turned into a worthless empty flower with a weak character and will, which is not capable of defending revolutionary achievements. He tries to get closer to the partisan detachment. This is the desire for a new life. But he is knocked out of the saddle by the minor everyday troubles that exist in the partisan detachment.

In the novel The Defeat A. Fadeev showed the formation of a man of a new format.
