For the first time he contemplated from afar the village to which he had been assigned from birth and was attached with all his heart. “What a beauty!” - Avdeich confirmed, as if delving into Sashka’s thoughts. “Often, I must admit, I admire my Torchkov from an ambush... I am also proud that I live in one of his barracks.” After all, not everyone has such happiness.” On the cover: sketch by Alexey Kravchenko “In a northern village» (1913-1914).
