Pit

A native of a provincial working family, Platonov with all his soul accepted the October Revolution, and the fact that a personal worldview tragedy, unusually pronounced in the “foundation pit”, was transmitted in his works with unprecedented force. The very idea of ​​building a “general-player house” turns the “foundation pit” into an anti-utopia shocking with its power, where the details of reality gain incredible, caricatured and prescribed sizes. This amazing house, conceived as a symbol of the communist “earthly paradise”, is actually becoming a cemetery of pipe fantasies.
