The Tale of the Kibal Boy (1958), dedicated to the love of the homeland and the heroism of the young defenders of the revolution, Arkady Gaidar . It is not very clear to modern “boys”. After all, the events of the revolutionary years in the perception of Gaidar are divided into two opposite colors - black and white. Black is, of course, the White Guards and the damned bourgeois, and white is the Red Army and all those who defended the revolution.
The noble Malchish-Kibalchish, who was vilely betrayed by Malchish-Plokhish, never betrayed the “ugly White Guards” under the torture of the Great Military Secret. Time has put everything in its place, and now it is clear that you can not literally take the picture – “white enemies”, and “red – ours”. But that's not the story. And that the Great Military Secret was never a secret for real men who were ready to give their lives for a just cause and protect their homeland. close
