"Fatherland" is a novel by Konstantin Sedykh, the author of the famous "Dauria". The book is devoted to the events of the last years of the Civil War in Transbaikalia: the expulsion of the interventionists, the reunification of the Far Eastern Republic with Russia, and the return of the partisans to peaceful life. Frosty winter continues to give way to blooming spring and sultry summer, followed by cold autumn, but every year it becomes more and more obvious that the old, familiar world has irrevocably disappeared - a new one is being born in the fire of battles. In The Fatherland, the reader meets the Ulybin Cossack family again. In this book, the writer's focus is not on the fate of his older brother, Roman, but on the fate of his younger brother, Ganka: a teenager who joined a partisan detachment, who, "like a leaf torn from a tree, was whirled and carried along in the stream of an incomprehensible, menacing life."
