Students in revolt attracted by terrorism; workers seduced by Marxism and the revolutionary struggle; protest liberals simply dreaming of reforming Russia; authorities who aware that something is smoldering are watching over the grain. It is in this atmosphere of muffled effervescence that the novel-fresco of Boris Jitkov opens considered by Pasternak as the best on the revolution of 1905. The wheel of history indeed and with it the narrative does not take long to get carried away: strikes demonstrations street fighting repression reaction leading to pogroms of incredible violence constitute the fabric of this Viktor Vavitch as chaotic lively shattering as the events it evokes. Against this background of agitation full of hope but ending in black despair Boris Zhitkov sows his characters whose destinies full of promise will mostly abort like the failed revolution of 1905: there a Viktor Vavitch who dreams of officer's stripes but finds himself in the police; there is Bachkin who wants to be a good type but becomes an indicator; there is the young Sanka Tiktine who is hardly convinced by the revolution: the novel will however end on his sending in relegation to Viatka; there is her sister Nadienka in love with a worker at the heart of clandestine action; there is the young Taïnka sister of Vavitch who madly loves the Jewish flautist Israëlson. A proliferation of characters chaos of colors and sounds Boris Jitkov delivers here the 1905 film transforming the reader into a spectator and a listener. The writing very cinematographic plays wonderfully with suggestion with the ellipse. Constantly as close as possible to his subject Boris Zhitkov does not describe he captures images stops there for a moment sometimes names and immediately hurries elsewhere. The last great Russian novel it has been said of Viktor Vavitch. The last in any case to offer this writing which places language and poetry above everything like the works of a Gogol a Biély or a Zamiatine. Viktor Vavitch is written between 1929 and 1934 then printed in 1941. Stalinist censorship then judges him improper and useless. The work is sent to the pestle. But the printer detects the masterpiece and keeps a few copies. It is therefore a manuscript miraculously saved from oblivion that the reader is invited to discover.
