One of the reasons why I love Vynnychenko’s novels from his 1911-1916 period is his depiction of revolutionaries. It’s uncanny, my friends. The revolutionaries all suffer from complicated mental illnesses and sexual disorders. They constantly talk about how prostitution is a career like any other and how great euthanasia is. They can’t work because of their mental illnesses and complicated emotional states. They deeply despise nationalists and religious people.
Before you think this is funny, please remember that these revolutionaries Vynnychenko is describing destroyed the Romanov empire and created the USSR in its place.
