On the issue of lieutenants' prose origins (K.D. Vorobyov's short novel They are we, Lord!..)
Abstract
The paper considers K.D. Vorobyov's short novel They are we, Lord! within the framework of lieutenants' prose. The critic substantiates the belonging of the writer's first novel to this literary school, introduces a notion colourless existence in captivity, anticipating existence in the entrenchment and following by a square foot of land. The simbolism of the novel title is analysed and the association with the Old Russian literary monument The Tale of Igor's Compaign is established.
