The novel “Cherry” is written in the tradition of Russian classical prose. The main characters are a priest, a landowner, and simple peasants who worked tirelessly all their lives. It is on such people that Rus' has rested and continues to rest. They want to work quietly, grow bread, raise children. “World revolutions” are completely alien to them. But they are drawn into the vortex of events that happened to the country in the period from 1905-1941. The Motherland did not always treat them with understanding; it was even cruel. However, this did not anger people's hearts. They remained faithful to their homeland, the village of Cherries, where they lived and worked all their lives. The novel “Cherry” is about them, people of labor and honor.
