Abstracts

EN

The treatise is devoted to three short stories by Leonid Nikolaievich Andreyev, in which figures connected with a terrorist movement appear. The writer creates the short stories as models of extreme situations, which he uses to verify the degree to which the position of the warrior against Tsarist autocracy provides the right to regard himself as a person with a higher mission different from the other, “ordinary”. The analysis of the text of the short stories shows that he rejects the “superiority” of the terrorists to the rest and to a certain extent casts doubt on the effectiveness of terrorist acts.
