Sevastopol suffering. Sergeev-Privsky S.N.

Sergey Nikolaevich Sergeyev-Privsky (1875-1958)-Russian and Soviet writer, laureate of the Stalin Prize for the Roman epic "Sevastopol suffering". The monumentalist, whom Gorky put on a par with Tolstoy, Gogol, and Dostoevsky.

Roman epic "Sevastopol suffering" is dedicated to the events of the Crimean war of 1853-1856. But this book is not about the war, but about people: about Admiral Nakhimov and Russian sailors, about General Gorchakov and the inhabitants of Sevastopol, who selflessly defended their native land. The names and fate of Sergeyev-Stensky immortalized their names and fate in his novel.
