THE SKILL OF A DIALOGUE IN THE NOVEL “The Deadlock” BY V. VERESAEV

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to identify the types and functions of a dialogue as one of the main means of artistry in V. Veresaev’s novel “The Deadlock”, dedicated to the post-revolutionary events in the South of Russia. Scenes captured by Veresaev, are correlated with similar sketches in essays and notes of I. Shmelev and M. Gorky. The particular attention is drawn to the author’s presentation of the spiritual state and worldview of the Russian intelligentsia and the folk in the critical era.
