Abstract

The fate of the novel The Young Guard is an enviable one. For several decades now it has been a firm favorite among our young people. The secret of the work's undiminished attraction lies in the civic spirit with which it is charged. These days, as the ideological conflict between two worlds—that of capitalism and that of socialism—steadily goes from bad to worse, The Young Guard takes on a topical relevance that is nothing if not extraordinary.
