Abstract
The article is devoted to B. Okudzhava’s story Lots of Luck, Kid [Bud’ zdorov, shkolyar]. An unconventional depiction of war, it defies the conventional canon of Soviet prose about the Great Patriotic War. With its episodes about impending peril, starvation on the front lines, muddled up orders, feelings of loneliness and hopelessness, it debunks the traditional image of a soldier as a brave romantic who fights fascism with an ideological determination. Okudzhava shows the dark side of war with all of its irrational havoc.
