Excerpt
"You stand on the bridge, watching the scenery,
While someone watching the scenery looks down at you from the tower.
The bright moon adorns your window,
And you adorn someone else's dream…
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant them eternal rest."
Alexander Leonidovich Chernykh
"Life and death, joy and sorrow, good and evil, beauty and ugliness... And my love for you was only a fleeting moment, which became a passage forever etched in both our lives."
Valentina Storozhnikova
"We always live in an unequal world. Even the Soviet Union, even the Bolshevik ideals we fought for, could not change our fate. Valentina, because of you, I was destined to be rich in talent and poor in talent, rich in love and poor in love…"
Ilya Petukhov
[Song of the Bolsheviks: A poignant and heartrending love story set in the Soviet era, a song of youth long gone]
Statement: This story is by Xuan Xue, with part of the original written by Lan Ziya.
Theme:
After reading it, it really makes me feel sad for a long time. I just saw this article this year. The author's writing style seems to be very good now. I also read a little bit about Lan Ziya's past events in Prague. Although I'm not particularly interested in the setting of a novel with two male protagonists, there is no doubt that the love of little people under the tide of the times is disappointing. However, I still want to say that it seems to be true now. The text and scene refer to the content of "At the Gates of the City", but this movie is indeed a Soviet film. The French director took it for granted that the so-called supervising team and the escaped surrenderers are really not inconsistent with historical facts.,,, It may also be my personal problem. I really like articles from the Soviet perspective of World War II, but unfortunately such articles have always been rare. When I read the title, I was more looking forward to something like "Young Guards", which depicts the fearlessness and excitement of communist soldiers defending their country with "Moscow behind them." People in that period really sacrificed their lives, and their family and country were above all else. This is more the mainstream of the majority of people. I don't think there is anything wrong with treating the German invaders as "cold as winter". So reading between the lines here, apart from the endless love entanglements and the elaborate ethical plot, it seems to me that it lacks a lot of energy.
If there was no war, Valentina would have a happy family, she would have a son and a daughter with Sasha, and she would grow old with Sasha. It was really uncomfortable after reading it. I hated Elijah. He was a selfish snake. He hated Valentina's biological father who destroyed his family, and finally turned into the same person as her biological father. Valentina and Sasha are so innocent.
I once loved you I once loved you: love, maybe. It's not completely dead in my heart; I hope he won't bother you again, I don't want to make you sad anymore. I used to be silent and speechless, I loved you hopelessly, Having endured shyness, And endured extreme torture; I was so sincere, I loved you so tenderly, May God bless you, The other one will love you as much as I do. Watching the Iron Age series now, it feels like watching a black-and-white movie that has been sealed for a long time. It is both familiar and strange. As time goes by, the mood changes. Crazy times, distorted human nature, destroyed beauty, everything is repeating the same mistakes, there is nothing to do. Perhaps human beings have an inherent desire for destruction and invented the beast of war, which has become a disaster for everyone and no one is spared. The tragedy of "Beautiful Bones", the sadness of "Isabella", and the melancholy of "Song of the Bolsheviks". With suppressed sadness, it destroys all the beautiful things in the world, such as love, youth, and the age of innocence that will never return. The only thing that remains unchanged is the cruelty of fate and the disappointment of the times. What is left is the memories, pursuits and nostalgia in the darkness and despair. Valentina - the pursuit of love This is a true story about love, which many times only appears in movies or texts, and is entrusted and remembered. After experiencing war, separation, and longing, you still never leave. Throughout your life, courage and perseverance give love a place to live in the cold era and return to its pure appearance. This kind of love deserves respect. Different from other heroines in the same series, Valentina seems to be much more ordinary, like one of the countless living beings destined to be forgotten by that era, but in this troubled world, neither luck nor misfortune can be controlled by her own control. The Tatar ancestors gave Valentina black hair, black eyes and a rebellious nature; the harsh environment shaped Valentina's persistence and stubbornness in her character, but most importantly, she has Shasha, her lover who has been together since birth. Living in embarrassment, despite being alone and having to endure cold and hunger from time to time, they need and possess each other. Young Valentina firmly believes that she and Shasha will be forever and have a future. This is her courage and belief to live on. Therefore, when she learned about Shasha's death notice or his treason and absconding, Valentina was hit hard. Compared with this crazy era, she believed in her lover more. Even if she was exiled to the most difficult place, even if she abandoned her existing identity and job, even if she still avoided Ilya, she still begged Ilya to take her to find Shasha, because compared to men, women are more interested in love. The understanding and implementation are more pure, following in the footsteps of Sasha, enduring the hardships along the way, and being worried every day, Varya has no complaints, but when faced with a strange identity, a cold attitude, and bloody killings, Varya feels heartbroken. This is obviously her Sasha, but he is not her Sasha. The love between the two people is so close that they know each other, and they are most ecstatic. Ironically, the moment when Shasha finally admitted himself was when the army came to the city and drew his gun against him. Things changed and people changed. Varya has been pursuing, pursuing the ending that has them all, but fate is like a net covering them, unable to break free. They both love each other desperately in their own way. But Varya didn't know that what was more cruel than death was missing out. The reason why Varya later accepted Ilya was not only moved by his persistence, but also because Sasha's death took away her love, but life still had to go on. Some feelings take time to settle. After experiencing the dullness and unbearableness of her marriage, Varya chose to return to her and Shasha's hometown, to the place where love began, and from Ukraine to Siberia, pursuing the love in her heart just like she did 30 years ago. After arriving here, Varya truly understood that she could not betray her heart. Despite all the hardships, her eyes when recalling Sasha were still clear, as if time had not corroded their love. It's just that they have been separated forever. Pursuing the love of a lifetime is like sand between your fingers, no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to keep it, it will all be an illusory thing. Their story is truly over. "Then I will wait for him forever and never give up." - Valentina Waiting for love——Ilya At the end of the story, the feelings for Ilya can no longer be simply summarized as love or hate. This melancholy and affectionate brown-eyed man should have been set up as a revenge prince, quietly completing all his revenge plans. In fact, he did it. It happened that he met Varya. In the end, in the war of fate, there is no winner, everyone is scarred, and no one is spared. Shasha lost her beautiful life, Valentina lost her innocent youth, and Ilya, burdened with dark and heavy hatred, spent his whole life staring at a love destined to be far away and hopeless. When a man is full of hate, he can do anything, even love. No one knows when Ilya fell in love with Valentina. Perhaps Valia had inexplicable fear and resistance from the first time they met. The subconscious in her heart told her that this man full of dangerous temptations would change her life because of the hot emotion in his eyes. Not just love, but hate. Yes, Ilya hated Varya, not because she was the daughter of an sworn enemy, nor because her eyes always stared at Sasha and never looked back, but because she made him fall in love and was unable to extricate himself. He had no choice but to wait for Varya to look back in love. Watching Ilya accompany Varya step by step from Ukraine to Germany, then to Poland, and finally back to the Soviet Union, the journey was difficult and dangerous, raining bullets and bullets, and never left her. When Varya was sad, desperate, and lifeless, she snatched Varya back from the hands of death again and again, enduring humiliation and danger, even at the cost of her own bright future, talent, and health, and remained steadfast. Varya may not be moved, but she cannot help but be moved. She could doubt everything about Elijah, but she couldn't deny his love. Varya said that Ilya ruined her and Shasha's life, but she never thought that Ilya's life was not a tragedy. They stayed together for 28 years. For Ilya, this half of his life was both stolen happiness and destined punishment. Every minute and every moment Every second passed with trepidation, walking on thin ice, fearing that Varya would know the truth. He gave the only beautiful emotions in his life to Varya and music. Every time he confessed, whether privately or publicly, it was the most sincere love in his heart, waiting for the mercy of love. The showdown when the truth comes out may, to some extent, be a relief for Ilya. He no longer has to face their love and their marriage with caution. Unfortunately, even though he already knew that the ending would be so unbearable, Ilya finally embraced a trace of luck and still hoped that they could grow old together, but fate did not smile at him as always. Their ending had no lingering sentiments, no grudges, only a sad separation. Everything was irreversible, and no nostalgia was allowed. What could be left behind and what could be taken away had already been decided at the beginning. This is the end of their story. "We will survive, together." - Ilya Protective love——Shaxia From the perspective of a bystander, the most innocent of the three people whose lives are intertwined is Shasha, so fate is particularly cruel to him. Throughout the story, Sasha's words are few and most of them are fleeting. The fates of Varya and Sasha are like a circular trajectory, pursuing each other and looking at each other from a distance. The Creator arranges for encounters and separations again and again. The paths are destined to never intersect. Even if they fall in love again, they are still pawns of the times. But every time he looks back, everything he has is guarding his love until the last moment of his life. Perhaps, when Sasha decided to go to Germany in place of Varya, he had already foreshadowed their farewell. No matter how they met after that, even if they fell in love again, it was full of silence, strangeness and despair. It was destined to be a broken illusion. Sasha knew everything. When he returned to Stalingrad, When he met Varya as an enemy, only sadness and crying were left. The once beautiful youth was short and fragile, and could be reversed without human intervention. If separation was destined, Sasha was even willing to choose to die in love with Varya. At least, nothing could separate them, including death. But when the bullet of death was shot at Varya, Sasha's love was faster than the bullet. It turns out that when you love someone, you don't care about gains and losses, you don't care about rewards, you just want the other person to live well. It turns out that death is not terrible, but living alone is the most painful. When Sasha learned of Varya's death, his life was over, and only memories and longings remained for the rest of his life. As for his identity and how he was treated, it no longer mattered. A person who lives in memories and longings will no longer love. His love has become silent. In the cold wind of Siberia, when the snow falls at dusk, the world is vast, alone, in loneliness and loneliness, before all memories fade, longing reaches the place where it first started, love returns to the beautiful time, and finally only the pair of boys and girls running in the birch forest chant Pushkin together and will never be separated. "I live and will always be with you, Varya" - Sasha I have loved you wholeheartedly and without asking for anything in return, just because you are the most beautiful scenery in my life.
Because of Xuan Xue, I fell in love with novel and unique World War II-themed romances. Likewise ~ I hope the author will continue writing ~!
There is nothing more sad than heartbreak. I dare not imagine how Varya will continue in the rest of her life. Living alone like this is too sad. Elijah promised that he would never leave Varia alone, and he should take her out of this cold country. Falling in love and killing each other is better than living in a dead life.
After reading it, I think I should calm down for a while... I feel so uncomfortable!
Elijah and Shasha undoubtedly loved the heroine deeply, but Elijah's love was selfish. In order to save his brother, he took the heroine back to Germany, and then deceived her and married her. Compared with the hatred he thought, these expirations seemed so despicable. The author describes so little about Sasha, but he gives people such a warm feeling. He has accompanied the heroine in all the good times. For Valentina, all the suffering is not how turbulent the current situation is and how cruel the war is, but the life without Sasha's companionship, and the disbelief that Sasha has become a Nazi. She cannot bear the cruelty of the Nazis, so she can't bear that such a beautiful Sasha will become such a person. Elijah forces her to believe everything she sees and makes her despair. This is so cruel. Sasha's love seemed so pure and beautiful in that era. He gave up everything for the girl he loved, just asking for her to live a stable life. It hurts that such a young man made such a sad decision when he was about to get married to the one he loved. Can he write a spin-off about Shasha? Elijah is not the male protagonist. Although he writes more than Shasha, he is such a pathetic person. He loves the female protagonist cruelly in his own way. Will the female protagonist who has gone through hardships truly love him? These two men both loved her in the way they thought they would. In the end, the heroine continued to live as Shasha hoped, just living like this, just living!
The male protagonist is like soy sauce. . The male supporting actor is a scumbag. . . Poor heroine. Their love for her was so heavy that it was almost impossible to feel it.
I finished watching Valentina in one sitting. "Valentina is sure that she has the love of two men." The former's love is full of innocence, beauty, waiting and bitterness, while the latter's love is spoiled and difficult to accept. After all, this love comes from Villa's strong hatred. Shasha's departure was very sudden, and it was only in the last chapter that all the reasons for her life were revealed. Although while watching, I was thinking about what led Shasha to betray the country and abandon his lover who had been with him for many years. How did he become a spy and obtain the rank of lieutenant? How did he win the trust of the Germans? However, the article does not go into detail, but this does not affect my perception of the entire article. Valentina is a persistent girl who has been looking for her lover. She just wants to see Sasha again, whether it is Germany or Siberia. I thought that Sasha died in the snow after being shot by Villa, but I didn't expect that he entered the prisoner of war camp. Because of the betrayal and the lie that Valentina was dead, he continued to live hopelessly in the prisoner of war camp. No one knew about the letters sent that would never be answered. And in the end, Valentina knew the end of everything, just like the previous comment said, "More sorrow is greater than death." There is no more appropriate description. She had a sweet love in the first half of her life, and all the beauty between her and Shasha only lasted until the eve of his departure. After that, there was waiting, searching, shock and despair. The story stopped, Villa, Sasha, love? Nothing. Valentina will be devastated for the rest of her life.
After many years of absence, I returned to Jinjiang again, and by chance I saw that the Song of the Bolsheviks was labeled as finished. It's incredible that even after so long, I still remember those plots with a strong sense of imagery. This is the charm of Xuan Xue's works. Until the end, I felt a little confused when I saw the time span of this work. Yes... So many years have passed. At that time, 10 years ago, I was still in my middle school age. Because of Xuan Xue, I fell in love with novel and unique World War II-themed romances. It was really heartbreaking to see Elijah's betrayal after the war. When the love was strong, the love turned weak. In the age of war, the weight of the oath and staying together was actually so light. If the story had stayed with Valentina holding a twenty-year-old letter and meeting the deceased Sasha in the cemetery, wouldn't it be so cruel? Half a life wasted, half a life missed. To put it too much, it is themselves who caused this result. A perfect ending is not necessarily a good ending. I think this is a good ending. Xuan Xue's writing skills and ability to tell stories are getting better and better~Thank you to the two authors for writing such a story. I will continue to support Xuan Xue in the future. [It is recommended that you go and listen to "Rowan Tree of the Urals" after reading it. You will not be disappointed.
