Ivan Bagryany. Garden of Gethsemane
"It is better to break the ribs of a hundred innocents than to let go of one guilty" - this was the slogan of the era in which millions of Ukrainians lived in the 1930s, and it is this tragic experience that Ivan Bagryany depicts in his novel "Garden of Gethsemane".
Using the example of the life of Andrii Chumak, the author demonstrates in detail how the perfect repressive mechanism of the Soviet system worked, how this system enslaved and destroyed people regardless of their achievements, origin, age or gender. A doctor, a poet, a gymnasium director - in prison your past doesn't matter: no matter what you've achieved, you still find yourself at the very bottom. But despite all these horrors, Ivan Bagryany is convinced that resistance to evil is necessary even when it seems that there is no point in fighting further, and the final choice always depends on the person.
