All Platonov's heroes are transformers of the world. The humanism of these people and the social orientation of their aspirations lie in the set goal of subordinating the forces of nature to man. The main principle of A.P. Platonov's work is to remain human in a beautiful and furious world. That is why the writer so easily searches in an external person, a simple, uneducated person, sometimes rude and ignorant, the innermost strings of the human soul, features of a bright, original nature.
