The dystopian novel "We" by Yevgeny Zamyatin for a long time been inaccessible to the Soviet people. It mercilessly criticized, because it was held some Parallels between the story and what is happening in the new Communist country called the Soviet Union. Publish their offspring he was able only abroad. And only in 80-e years has given us access to forbidden literature.
The action takes place in the 32 century, in a Single state, created after the war between the "village and city". Manages all processes Benefactor. His power extends to all residents, isolated from the outside world by a Green wall and go in which is strictly prohibited.
Note that this state consists entirely of restrictions and prohibitions, the law for the citizens – it is a Great tablet. For the depersonalization of people have even no names, just letter and numbers. It's easier to turn that individual into a collective something, with the same way of life, and later, and thinking. As shown by thousands of years of history of civilization of the herd mind, it is easier to manage and achieve set goals. And not all of them for the benefit of the majority.
In the world of D-503 has no concept of love, physiological needs reglamentary and says the Benefactor, in pink coupon books and certain days happen have sex.
The whole life of people-offer utopian, but on the other hand such a real state in the sight. They live in glass ideal for such surveillance, and apartments. Their identities firmly hidden and put to death the impersonal uniform.
Interesting moment when a character in a novel spring more admiring nature, feeling on the lips pollen, made the passage from a logical approach to everything. It should be with clean lines, not distracting and certainly not giving the slightest reason for romance.
And nutrition for everyone: at one time, food oil, for all. Work on schedule absolutely everyone, return home system. Like machines, they wanted them to be.
However, there was a single monotonous and boring the body and people with a different, free, personal thinking. Hiding and lurking, looking for like-minded assistants who together would be able to give everyone freedom of choice and to regain their own mind.
The protagonist, D-503, attached to a woman, experienced in addition to passion and romantic feelings. He broke the dominant rule of a Single state. Falling in love, he saw that things are not as they are presented. That the world is multifaceted and that only freedom of the soul, mind and heart brings true happiness.
The ending is disappointing. D-53 betrayed your love, saw the suffering of the woman, but nothing it felt. Using the operation feeling deprived.
Because of this creation Zamyatin was subjected to harassment. He wrote that he was afraid of total control, censorship. And so it was during the reign of the party Councils. But now, in our time we are witnessing the stirrings of a comprehensive control: the Internet, social media, cameras everywhere, phone records, and court cases on people who Express their opinions. And I think that is just the beginning.
