Summary: "Lord, it's us!". "It's us, Lord!" - the military drama of K. Vorobyov

Today we will consider the work of the Soviet writer Konstantin Dmitrievich Vorobyov, more precisely, we will analyze the short content. "Lord, this is us!" - a story written in 1943. Already by the date of writing it becomes clear that the speech in the work will go about the Great Patriotic War. In addition, military themes in general became a key to the author's entire work. In many respects this is due to the fact that Vorobiev took part in the war, several times went into captivity and fled, and also for a time commanded a partisan detachment.

Summary: "Lord, it's us!"

Autumn 1941, the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. The main hero of the story, Lieutenant Sergei Kostrov, is taken prisoner. A few days of prisoners are kept in the cellars of the Klin glass factory, destroyed by bombing. Then all prisoners are built in a row for 5 people and driven along the Volokolamsk highway. Those prisoners who are lagging behind the column because of injury or fatigue, the Germans are shot on the spot.

A brief summary of the trials that fell to the lot of Russian soldiers caught in captivity. Vorobyov ("This is us, Lord!") Read for this reason is not easy. Sergei is walking in a column next to an elderly man, whom everyone calls simply Nikiforich. With him, the hero met on the night before the beginning of their journey. Nikiforich treats his comrade in kindness in kindness. He shares with him the last breadcrumbs, spreads the wounds of Sergei ointment, which heals beatings.

When the column passes by the village, one of the local old women throws raw cabbage leaves to the prisoners. This inmates are greedily eats. But then there is a machine-gun fire that touches the old woman and several prisoners. Among the mortally wounded is Nikiforych. Dying, he gives Sergey his bag and tells him to run.

Rzhev camp

About how Sergei together with a column of prisoners of war reaches the Nazi camp in Rzhev and only on the seventh day receives a small piece of bread, tells a brief summary. "Lord, this is us!" - a story based on the life experience of the author himself, so what is described in it is valuable by its truthfulness.

The life of the prisoners begins in the camp. On the day they are given 12 people a loaf of bread, which weighs only 800 grams. Sometimes prisoners are given a bald, which consists of scarcely warm water and waste from oatmeal. And every night somebody dies in the barrack, and in the morning the guards take out his body.

Typhus

Kostrov begins typhus, the temperature rises to forty. Then other prisoners drop him from the comfortable upper bunks so that he does not occupy a good place, because all the same already, consider, the deceased. But two days later, Serey found the strength to get out from under the lower bunks and, dragging his legs, whispered, asked him to give him the rightful place at the top. At this time Vladimir Ivanovich Lukin, a camp doctor, enters the barracks. He translates Kostrov into a barrack with other patients. Here gradually, Sergei begins to recover.

The doctor secretly collects people, so that closer to the summer will arrange an escape. Sergei is ready to join, but he, together with other commanders, is transferred to the Smolensk camp.

Kaunas

We continue the summary. Vorobyeva ("This is us, Lord!") Is studied in literature classes in the 11th grade.

Sergei is in another camp, but here he does not lose hope of escaping. However, the captives are again transferred somewhere, and this time is far, since they give each person a loaf of bread from sawdust - this is a four-day norm. They are immersed in wagons without windows, and four days later they are in Kaunas. At the entrance to the camp, a column of prisoners is met by Germans with shovels that attack the prisoners and begin to cut them. Sergei sees how his friends die.

The escape

The bitter and terrible truth about life in the Nazi camps is told by the story "This is us, Lord!". A few days pass, and about a hundred prisoners of war are taken to work outside the camp. Kostrov and the boy Vanyushka are trying to escape, but they are overtaken and severely beaten, and then sent to the punishment cell.

Now Vanya and Sergey have to go to the penalty camp of Salaspils, which is also called the "Valley of Death". But even here the prisoners are not detained - they are sent to Germany. Here they are lucky - they manage to jump out of the train at full speed. They miraculously remain alive. From this moment wanderings on Lithuanian woods begin. The fugitives go to the east, going into the village houses and asking for food.

Death of Vanyushka

Military time is cruel, and even the need for simple human joys can turn into a tragedy, the author of the work "It We, Lord!" Shows us. The summary of the chapters describes the moment when Vanyushka turns 17. Friends decide to arrange a holiday. Sergei sends for mushrooms, and Vanya - for potatoes in the nearest house. However, the boy does not return for a long time, and Kostrov decides to check whether everything is in order. Reaching the house, he sees that the Germans have captured the boy. To rid Vanyushka of torture, the main character sets the house on fire.

Again captive

Sergei continues his journey. But in the autumn the wounded leg starts to hurt, and every day he manages to pass less and less. Once he does not have time to hide, and he is caught by policemen. Sergei goes to Panevezhyskuyu prison. Kostrov falls into one cell with the Russians, who decided that the hero was at least 40 years old, although in fact he was not yet 23. Sergei is cruelly interrogated, but from is called a fictitious name and claims that he was not in any camps, but fled immediately after he was taken prisoner.

Decoupling

The story "This is us, Lord" comes to an end (the summary of each chapter we described). Sergei again tries to escape, but the attempt fails. He was caught and sent to Siauliai prison camp. In the courtyard - the spring of 1943. Once in a new place, Kostrov again begins to think about escaping. Nothing can force the hero to surrender and forget about freedom, submit to the invaders and forget about his duty to his homeland.

This concludes the summary. "Lord, this is us!" Is a truly powerful work, really describing the torment that the Soviet prisoners of war suffered in numerous Nazi camps.
