Stepan Razin’s image of in the work of V.M. Shukshin
Intuitive craving for will is one of the few common terms in various modifications of the hero, widely represented in V. Shukshin's prose and drama. However, V. Shukshin saw the “starting point” for the development of this so important feature of the Russian national character in Razin. And although there are few Shukshin's works devoted to the rebellious chieftain, the image of Razin has become consistent in the writer's work. It was Razin, according to V. Shukshin, who was the most complete exponent of the Russian people.
