The novel " Fate " ( 1972 ), revealing the fate of the people in the fate of its heroes, the dynamics of historical events of the era of building socialism and the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, became one of the notable works of the 1970s. Filmed (“ Earthly Love ” and “ Fate ”).
Proskurin’s novels “Fate” (1972) and “Your Name” (1977) are a monumental work of extraordinary breadth, depicting several decades of Soviet history (part 1: 1932-1944, part 2: post-war time - early seventies), here and village life, and space flights, and characters from all walks of life, and personally Stalin, and public criticism, and the propaganda of the Russian great power. In his work, Proskurin adapts what he has experienced from personal experience to a certain then not quite ordinary picture of Soviet history, he emphasizes the responsibility of leaders, the role of the party. He writes in broad strokes, without showing much interest in the form of the work [4] .
The novel “Renunciation”, published in 1987, is a continuation of the novels “Fate” and “Your Name”, forming a trilogy with them. The publication took place during perestroika, and the novel differs from the previous parts in sharp criticism of late Soviet reality.
